> Design and own electronics for sensor-dense medical systems, managing the full product lifecycle from concept to production. The role involves designing robust mixed-signal PCBs, selecting MCUs/DSPs, and leading board bring-up and debugging within a cross-functional hardware team.

## 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 hands-on Senior Electronics Design Engineer to join our Hardware & Firmware organization. You'll design and own electronics for sensor-dense medical systems, working closely with Mechanical, Firmware, Software, Verification & Validation, Manufacturing, and Production teams. You'll carry the design across the full product lifecycle: early system trades and requirements, concept, schematic, layout, bring-up, verification, certification, and into production. The device has to give the same reading in every clinic, every time, so robustness and data quality are design constraints from day one rather than something verification catches later. This is a practical, lab-facing role for engineers who want to see their designs deployed in real clinical environments. We're looking for leadership through design ownership.

## What you'll do

- Own electronics design end-to-end, from system trades and requirements through schematic, layout, verification, certification, and production support
- Design robust mixed-signal PCBs for sensor-dense medical systems, balancing signal integrity, power, thermal, and EMC constraints
- Select and integrate MCUs / DSPs and key components, working closely with firmware and software teams
- Lead board bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis of prototypes and production hardware
- Design for manufacture and test, and support the transfer into production
- Collaborate cross-functionally to keep designs manufacturable, testable, compliant, and scalable

## What you bring

- Hands-on experience with both schematic capture and PCB layout
- 5+ years of hands-on electronics product development, with products that reached production
- Strong mixed-signal design, including simulation
- Solid understanding of power design, signal integrity, and EMC/EMI in real products
- Board bring-up, debugging, and lab instrumentation in embedded systems
- Comfortable working autonomously, taking an open-ended problem through to a design and the reasoning behind it
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- Fluent English (C1 or above)

Bonus points

- Experience in medical devices or another regulated industry, or familiarity with IEC 60601
- Sensor signal conditioning
- Switching power converters, magnetics, analog control loops, or motor inverters
- High-performance digital: processors, FPGAs, memory, network switches
- RF design or RF-sensitive systems
- Test interfaces or test systems (Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB)

## Why join this team

You'd own boards, not sections of boards. From the first system trade to the first unit off the line, the design is yours. Complete design freedom. You make the design calls. Nobody hands you a topology and asks you to route it. The hierarchy is flat, so the path from a decision to a built board is short. Hardware with real constraints. Sensor-dense, mixed-signal, and every constraint pulling against the others: signal integrity, power, thermal, EMC, cost, manufacturability. There's no version of this that's routine. The rest of the system is in the room. Mechanical, firmware, software, V&V and production all sit in the same Stockholm office. When a board misbehaves you walk over to the person whose subsystem it's talking to and sort it out that afternoon. And it goes into clinics. Your boards end up in front of real people getting answers they wouldn't otherwise have.

## 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.
