Employment type: Part-time initially, flexible hours
Compensation: Founder equity (no salary at pre-seed stage)

About CortiAura:
CortiAura is developing a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device, founded by an NHS Consultant Gastroenterologist (18+ years, three healthcare systems) and a neuroscience co-founder (PhD Göttingen, postdoc Cambridge). We were selected in the final 15% of the Cambridge Blue Sky innovation programme, have a UK development partner engaged, an NHS Trust pilot in active discussion.
About the role:
We're looking for a Hardware / Neurotech Engineer to join as a co-founder — not an employee or contractor, but a genuine partner in building CortiAura from the ground up. You would own the hardware and technical architecture as we take the device from TRL3 to TRL4 and beyond, with real influence over technical direction, product decisions, and company strategy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'd own:
- Hardware architecture and component selection for the stimulation and sensing system
- Stimulation circuit design and biosignal sensor integration
- Bench testing and validation strategy toward TRL4 and beyond
- Technical input into regulatory and manufacturing decisions as the company scales

What we're looking for:

- Comfort working at early TRL stages with ambiguity and limited resources
- A genuine desire to co-build a company, not just contribute to one — shared risk, shared upside
- Alignment with our mission in neurotechnology and patient impact
How to apply:
Please reach out with your CV/LinkedIn profile and a short note on why this opportunity interests you — we'd want to have a genuine conversation before any formal offer.
