🚀 Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – Medical Device Startup
📍 Location: Hybrid / Dublin-based
🕒 Full-Time | Co-founder Potential | Competitive Equity Package
Are you ready to lead the next breakthrough in medical technology?
We’re a fast-moving, venture-backed medical device startup on a mission to redefine patient care through cutting-edge innovation. We’re seeking a visionary CTO to join our founding team and lead the development of our core technology from concept to commercialization.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own and lead the full product development lifecycle—from R&D to regulatory approval and manufacturing scale-up.
  • Build and lead a cross-functional engineering team (mechanical, software, systems).
  • Collaborate with clinical experts, advisors, and partners to ensure technical excellence and clinical impact.
  • Drive the technology roadmap and ensure IP strategy aligns with business goals.
  • Champion quality and regulatory compliance (ISO 13485, FDA, CE) from day one.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience (7+ years) in medical device development, ideally Class II/III.
  • Strong background in systems engineering, product development, or manufacturing scale-up.
  • Familiarity with regulatory environments (FDA, MDR) and quality systems.
  • Startup mindset: resourceful, hands-on, and unafraid to challenge the status quo.
  • Leadership experience with a passion for mentoring and team building.
  • Bonus: Experience with embedded systems, wearable devices, or minimally invasive tech.

Why Join Us?

  • Be a key part of a purpose-driven startup at the intersection of health and innovation.
  • Shape the future of a novel device with life-changing potential.
  • Work alongside passionate founders, clinicians, and advisors.
  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity stake + impact-driven culture.
