Job Requirements / Description
Mendea is an embryonic neurotechnology startup based in the UK.
Our mission is to build a safe and effective means to improve brain function for as many people as possible, using non-invasive ultrasound stimulation technology.
In time, we aim to help anyone improve their cognitive state, through consistent elevation of mental wellbeing and performance.
We recently received backing from Zinc VC, a London venture capital firm supporting radical technological solutions created by mission-led startups.
Zinc are backing our vision to build a versatile, platform technology to improve brain health for as many people as possible.
We joined Zinc's incubator programme in Summer 2024. Our first steps are to expand our team, build prototypes, and validate our long-term roadmap.
We're seeking a visionary Founding Engineer to help build a cutting-edge neurotechnology company from the ground up.
As a founding engineer, you will join a team of 3 other co-founders to play a leading role in building the company from its earliest stages.
We're looking for someone who's excited to work hands-on to build the prototype, and ultimately to lead the engineering team.
