Job Description
As the founding Tech Lead for Tricorder at Founders Factory Ltd, you will build the "operating system for healthcare beyond the hospital."

Location
Bristol/London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
- Build the future of decentralized healthcare with a venture that has already secured a major European industrial partner for R&D, hardware, and sandbox testing.
- Join as a genuine co-founder with significant equity and six months of intensive support from the Founders Factory Ltd studio team specializing in product and growth.
- Solve mission-critical problems at the intersection of health-tech and defense, creating resilient systems that function in high-stakes environments without reliable power or connectivity.
What You Will Do
- Take end-to-end responsibility for system integration, managing sensing, edge computing, and resilient data synchronization layers to complete a deployable clinical OS.
- Architect and build functional hardware-software prototypes for clinical pilots, ensuring systems remain operational under intermittent connectivity and severe power constraints.
- Lead the technical roadmap and regulatory strategy, ensuring compliance with medical device standards while recruiting the initial engineering team to scale the company.
The ideal candidate
- Proven track record of shipping complex products that span both physical hardware (embedded systems or sensors) and the software environments that support them.
- Deep expertise in building for regulated, high-trust domains such as health-tech, medical devices, or defense, including familiarity with clinical safety or quality management frameworks.
- Entrepreneurial founder wiring with the pragmatism to move at pre-seed pace and the willingness to undergo UK government security vetting for national-security-adjacent work.
