Regulatory Affairs Engineering Lead, Clinical Evaluation

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 a regulatory affairs engineer to own the clinical side of Neko's regulatory work. You'd write the clinical evaluation plans and reports, and the clinical documentation behind our submissions to the FDA, the EU and the UK.

Neko generates its own clinical evidence, so this is authored work. You'd plan and support clinical studies and investigations under ISO 14155, appraise the literature and the clinical data behind each claim, and keep the clinical evaluation current as the devices change.

It's hands-on and it runs across both hardware and software, working closely with the engineering, clinical and quality teams. You'd join a small regulatory team where the other engineers come from hardware and software backgrounds, which is why this role leans clinical.

Write clinical evaluation plans and clinical evaluation reports under EU MDR Annexes XIV and XV, including the literature review and the appraisal of clinical data behind themOwn the regulatory side of clinical studies and clinical investigations, from study design input through to clinical investigation submissions, under ISO 14155, UK MDR 2002 and FDA 21 CFRBuild the regulatory strategy for clinical evidence across EU MDR, FDA and UK MDR, and turn it into a prioritised roadmap the engineering and product teams can work toPrepare submissions and maintain the clinical sections of technical files, pulling together engineering, clinical and quality input for notified body or agency reviewGive regulatory guidance to the hardware and software teams on IEC 62304, IEC 60601-1 and IEC 62366-1, so those requirements are part of how the devices get builtAssess the regulatory and clinical impact of device changes, hardware and software, and support change controlOwn post-market surveillance and post-market clinical follow-up from the clinical evidence side, including regulatory change monitoring and incident reportingDesign and deliver regulatory and clinical evaluation training for process owners and product teamsSupport internal and external audits, including notified body and agency interactions

Why join this team

The clinical evidence behind a Neko scan is generated here, so the documents you write are the argument for what the product is allowed to tell someone about their own health. You'd own that argument across the FDA, the EU and the UK.

The regulatory team is small and sits next to the engineers building the devices, so a question about what the evidence can support gets answered in a conversation. You'd be the first person here whose weight is on the clinical and study side.
