Description

About us:

Machine Medicine Technologies is facilitating the next generation of neurotherapeutics by building software for the intelligent, personalised optimisation of neuromodulation and other precision therapeutics.

Our flagship product, Kelvin, is in use at multiple deep brain stimulation (DBS) sites across the globe, enabling the collection of large datasets of unparalleled quality.

This data is being utilised to develop a SaMD (Software as Medical Device) tool for automated clinical assessment of Parkinson's disease.

The FDA awarded our technology Breakthrough Device Designation, recognizing its potential to revolutionize the MedTech industry.

Based in central London (Bermondsey), our company is growing rapidly with 30+ full-time employees and over £6.5M in funding. We have published papers in numerous high-quality, peer-reviewed journals, including Sensors, Intelligence-Based Medicine, and Nature Parkinson's Disease.

About the role:

The Quality team at our company plays a pivotal role in ensuring the excellence of our products and services. The team guarantees that our medical device functions with pinpoint accuracy, high reliability, and utmost safety.

Their efforts go beyond our internal operations; they provide the assurance needed to not only meet but consistently exceed the expectations of regulatory bodies, healthcare professionals, patients, and clients.

It is an exciting time to join the company as we embark on two ambitious missions:

Submitting Kelvin-Parkinson'sDisease technical documentation to FDA for market clearance
And support the design and development of new SaMD for other movement disorders, under the Kelvin series

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Head of Quality and Regulatory Affairs will play a vital role as a member of the leadership team, and leading a team of three.

If you are a self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit, passion for the field and perseverance towards a goal, you will fit right in.

This is a superb opportunity for an ambitious Quality professional, with relevant previous experience, to take personal ownership and deliver outstanding results.
