NPI Engineer, Electronics

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.

We're looking for an NPI Engineer to take Neko's electronics from a stable design into volume production. You'll sit between the design team in Stockholm and our contract manufacturer, and you'll own the work that makes a board buildable and testable at volume.

That means the test fixtures the factory runs, the DFM and DFT changes that go back into the design while there's still time to act on them, and the yield and process work once a line is up. When a build throws a problem, you're the person who works out whether it's the design, the process or the test, and then closes it.

We're at the point where the manufacturing decisions being made now will shape how the next few products get built, so there's a lot of ground to claim.

Take stable designs through transfer into production, and own the industrialization plan for each oneDesign ICT and functional test fixtures for volume production, and the requirements behind themDrive DFM and DFT improvements back into the electronics designWork directly with our contract manufacturer on build readiness, process and qualityWork with the software team on the production test software and firmware that runs on your fixturesOwn yield: track it, find the causes behind it, and close them outKeep production documentation, work instructions and test records in the shape a regulated product needs

What You Bring

Experience taking electronic products from design into volume manufacturingProduction test fixture design, ICT and functional, including writing the test requirementsDFM and DFT, with examples of changes you got into a design early enough to matterHands-on work with contract manufacturers, or with an internal production lineComfortable reading schematics and layouts, and debugging a board on the lineProcess and yield improvement, with data behind the decisionsDegree in Electrical, Electronics, Production or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent practical experienceFluent English (C1 or above)

Bonus points

Experience in medical devices or another regulated industry, including design transfer and process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), as well as knowledge of ISO 13485Proficient in testing software and scripting using Python or LabVIEWKnowledge of SMT processes, including panelisation, AOI, and X-ray inspectionExperience working with contract manufacturers outside Sweden and managing the associated travelFamiliarity with statistical process control, Six Sigma, or equivalent methodologies

Why join this team

This is the role that decides whether a good design becomes a good product. You'll own the transfer end to end, from the first DFM review through to a line running at yield, and you'll have the authority to send a change back into the design when that's the right fix.

The design team is in Stockholm and small enough that you'll know every engineer whose board you're industrializing. The hierarchy is flat, so a process decision doesn't need three approvals to happen.

Volumes are growing and the hardware is early, so you're setting up how manufacturing works here while there's still a choice about it.
