We overcome the limitations of traditional intravascular imaging by introducing intravascular photoacoustic imaging, which offers a multispectral view (“color”) of blood vessels. This high-precision imaging minimizes complications during procedures, such as stent placement, by ensuring optimal positioning on the first attempt. This not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces the need for repeat interventions and post-procedure complications. 

To continue our mission, we are seeking a CTO with a photonics engineering background, ideally with 3+ years of experience in fiber-optic sensing, signal-to-image processing.  

Who you are. 

You have a background in electrical engineering, optical engineering, applied physics or photonics. 

As the chief technology officer, you will: 

• Collaborate with the team to define and implement the company’s technical strategy, leveraging your expertise to achieve both short- and long-term goals. 

• Build and lead a tech team to drive product development. 

• Manage relationships with co-development partners and suppliers. 

• Work with the application team to ensure smooth integration into clinical workflows. 

What we offer: 

• A dynamic and international environment in the HighTechXL ecosystem where you’ll be a MedTech entrepreneur, contributing to both technical and business development. 

• Be involved in the entire process: from prototype design to product development and lifecycle management. 

• As the CTO, you’ll have the opportunity to make a direct impact in healthcare by advancing precision vascular treatment through fiber-optic sensing. 

• Initially, shares in the company, with a salary upon securing funding. 

Practicalities: 

• Availability from 3 or 5 days per week starting as soon as possible.  

• We are located at HighTechXL on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven.
