Full Job Description

At CoMind, we are developing a non-invasive neuromonitoring technology that will result in a new era of clinical brain monitoring. In joining us, you will be helping to create cutting-edge technologies that will improve how we diagnose and treat brain disorders, ultimately improving and saving the lives of patients across the world. THE ROLE: As the FPGA Architect, you will own the design, architecture, and development of the FPGA systems at the core of our neuromonitoring device. As a recognised Subject Matter Expert in FPGA design principles you'll build the real-time data acquisition, digital signal processing, and high-speed communication systems that turn optical signals into the physiological data clinicians depend on. This is a senior technical role with full ownership — from early architecture decisions through to manufacturing release — working alongside electronics, software, mechanical, and optics engineers in a regulated medical device development environment. You will be a key member of the Hardware Engineering team responsible for the hardware for CoMind's medical devices — from precision analogue circuits and high-speed digital systems, to FPGAs for data acquisition, control and signal processing, and PCB design through to mechanical enclosures, optical assemblies and consumable sensors. At CoMind, all team members work at least 4 days per week from our new Kings Cross offices, plus a flexible work-from-home day. RESPONSIBILITIES: - Lead the end-to-end architecture, design, development, and verification of FPGA systems across the full product lifecycle - Define FPGA system architecture from product and clinical requirements, including clocking, reset, memory, and interface strategies - Select appropriate Xilinx FPGA/SoC platforms (e.g., Zynq, UltraScale+) and drive design trade-offs across performance, power, cost, and reliability - Build real-time data acquisition pipelines, DSP subsystems, and high-speed communication interfaces in Verilog/VHDL - Le
