# Lead Test Engineer, Electronics at Neko Health

- **Company:** [Neko Health](https://feeny.ai/companies/neko-health)
- **Location:** Stockholm, Sweden
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-09-21
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-11-08
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/neko-health/c1a46d78-f900-431a-8973-d178afa1566e

## Job description

Mission Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.

In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.

## About the role

We're looking for a Test and Validation Engineer to join our Hardware & Firmware organisation in Stockholm. You'll own how we test the electronics the team designs, and you'll build the fixtures and boards that make that testing possible. Every new PCB revision comes through you for bring-up and verification. You'll write the test plans that check a board against its requirements, design the fixtures and test boards that run them, automate what's worth automating, and take failures down to root cause so the fix lands in the next design revision. Our devices have to give the same reading in every clinic, every time. That makes verification a design input, which is why this role sits close to the design work and starts early in a project.

## What you'll do

- Bring up and verify new PCB revisions across the team's designs
- Design test fixtures and test PCBs yourself, schematic through layout
- Write and execute verification test plans against requirements
- Build automated test setups and the scripting behind them
- Troubleshoot EMC pre-compliance failures and feed what you find back into the design
- Take failures to root cause, and turn the answer into a design change
- Bring test thinking into design reviews early, so boards arrive testable

## What you bring

- Hands-on lab skills: oscilloscope, DMM, logic analyser, and bench debugging of real hardware
- Schematic capture and PCB design, enough to build your own test fixtures and test boards
- Test scripting and automation in Python or similar
- Strong analogue and digital fundamentals
- Able to read a requirement and say how you'd test it, including when it isn't testable as written
- Comfortable owning the test approach for a board and explaining the reasoning behind it
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics or equivalent practical experience
- Fluent English (C1 or above)

Bonus points

- Medical devices or another regulated industry, or familiarity with IEC 60601
- EMC pre-compliance work, particularly time spent in a chamber with a failure
- Sensor signal conditioning and analogue front ends
- Instrument control and automated test frameworks: LabVIEW, PyVISA, TestStand
- Design for test on boards heading into volume production

## Why join this team

You'd own the test approach for all the hardware this team designs, and you design the fixtures and test boards behind it yourself, schematic through layout. There's real electronics design work inside this role, which is part of why it's a good route towards design engineering if that's where you want to end up. The hierarchy is flat and the design team is in Stockholm with you, so the distance between finding a problem and changing a design is short. You'll be in the design reviews from the start. The hardware you verify goes into clinics and gets used on real people, which is the reason the standard you hold it to matters.

## About Neko Health

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Neko Health is a healthcare technology company that has engineered a proprietary, data-driven preventive health scan to detect early signs of disease in otherwise healthy individuals.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Funding Stage: Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Stockholm, Sweden
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Daniel Ek (Co-founder, also founder/CEO of Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Healthcare Technology, Preventive Medicine, Clinical Diagnostics
- Target customers: B2C – Health-conscious individuals; B2B Potential – Self-insured employers
- Mission or purpose statement: “To provide healthcare that’s proactive instead of reactive – so that people can live longer, healthier lives.”

## Products & Services
- **[The Neko Health Scan]**: A 60-minute, full-body health check that captures millions of data points across the skin, heart, blood, and circulation using four proprietary devices (Derma, Spectrum, Echo, and Neko Lens). Includes an unrushed consultation with a doctor where results are discussed immediately. The scan is priced at approximately 2750kr (~$260) in Sweden and is designed for asymptomatic, healthy individuals looking for prevention.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (as of mid-2026).
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – **$325.1M** (one prior funding round).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by “investors who have built and scaled some of the most ambitious technology companies of the last two decades” (individual names not publicly listed on career page). The company has strong ties to the tech and startup ecosystem.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 1,000 employees (more than half in clinical roles). Aggressive expansion with active clinic locations in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Stockholm, and plans for more. Job postings have increased +344.4% year-over-year (as of mid-2026), indicating rapid scaling.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary Hardware**: All four scanning devices are designed, engineered, and assembled in-house in Stockholm, creating a hard-to-replicate technological moat.
- **Integrated Clinical Model**: Unlike traditional clinics or digital health apps, Neko combines its proprietary hardware with on-site doctors, clinical researchers, and data science under one roof with a low patient volume per doctor ( ~9 members/day vs. 30+ in standard care). This enables a focus on prevention, not just treatment.
- **Data Moat**: The system captures millions of structured data points per scan, allowing for peer benchmarking and longitudinal tracking over years, creating a powerful, network-effect dataset for preventive health insights.
- **Leadership**: Co-founded by Daniel Ek (Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Scan Room**: Neko is actively testing a second-generation modular scan room platform designed to capture more signals and scale to new locations.
- **Global Expansion**: Opening new clinics across the UK and Europe, with a clear intent to make the service more accessible.
- **Clinical Research & Governance**: Continued focus on validating their devices with clinical studies and building a clinical leadership team (including ex-NHS and Amazon Health executives) to establish preventive care as a formal clinical discipline.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: The company was founded to solve the fundamental problem of late-stage diagnosis by focusing on prevention. The work is presented as having a direct, positive impact on human longevity.
- **Culture & Engineering**: The company actively showcases a deep engineering culture where “clinical insight can become a hardware iteration overnight.” Clinicians and engineers share the same floor, fostering rapid iteration and innovation.
- **Compensation & Benefits**: Salaries are benchmarked via market research. Benefits include comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, 401K, Paid Time Off, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, CME Days, and Commuter Benefits.
- **Work Model**: Roles are **on-site** at specific clinic locations. Training for medical roles is fully paid. The interview process is designed to give candidates a feel for the culture and mission.
- **Growth Trajectory**: With 80+ active job postings and triple-digit growth in hiring, the company is in a high-growth phase, offering significant career development opportunities.
