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: The Optical Engineering team at CoMind is responsible for the photonics systems at the heart of CoMind’s technology, designing and developing the laser interferometry platform that enables continuous, non-invasive measurement of human physiology parameters. The team spans optical system design, component selection and test, precision alignment, optical modelling, and integration with mechanical and electronic subsystems. As Engineering Manager for Optical Engineering, you will lead a team of optical engineers through the iterative design, build, and test phases to create designs which fulfil design input requirements and successfully complete design verification and validation campaigns. Working alongside CoMind’s contract manufacturing partners, you will ensure that design deliverables can be successfully transferred into serial production. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will drive technical decisions, own the optical workstream, and personally contribute to complex design challenges, while managing the team to programme milestones and design control processes. You will lead and mentor the team of optical engineers, and establish and maintain the development process and tools required by the team, championing a high standard of quality and performance. At CoMind, all team members work at least 4 days per week in the office, plus a flexible work-from-home day. This role can be based in either London (Kings Cross) or Bristol office. Responsibilities: Lead and develop a team of optical engineers, setting clear development goals, providing technical mentorship, and maintaining a high standard of engineering practice Own the optical engineering function and lead the realisation of photonic and optical components from concept through to validated hardware Personally contribute to design work, including optical modelling (Zemax, COMSOL, or equivalent), tolerance analysis, simulation, and design for manufacture and assembly Drive design reviews, risk assessments, and V&V activities across optical subsystems, ensuring performance is robustly characterised before design freeze Own the optical interfaces with mechanical, electronic, and manufacturing subsystems, working cross-functionally to resolve integration challenges Establish and maintain optical design standards, toolchain choices, and documentation in line with CoMind’s QMS, ISO 13485, and IEC 60601-1 Manage relationships with contract manufacturers and key suppliers for optical components and assemblies, supporting DFM and manufacturing readiness reviews AI is fundamental to our culture — it’s not just a tool, but a core part of how we work, collaborate, and innovate.
