Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance Specialist (m/f/d)
About us
Today, 7 out of 10 people globally lack access to life-saving Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Conventional MRI machines are massive, cost millions of euros, and require specialized, shielded rooms which means they are usually confined to large hospitals.
At DeepSpin, we are changing that by building the World’s First Flatbed MRI.
Our open-architecture scanner plugs into a standard wall socket, fits into regular doctor's offices, and costs 10x less than conventional systems.
Backed by globally leading VCs, we are expanding our team in Berlin. This is an opportunity to join a mission-driven team bringing an essential medical technology to the billions of people who currently cannot afford it.
