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.
By rethinking MRI technology from the ground up, we have removed the traditional closed tube entirely. 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.
As our Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance Manager, you will lead the medical device certification for our MRI system in the US and Europe, while managing and improving our Quality Management System (QMS).
This is a key role where you will have direct ownership of our regulatory strategy and play a major part in bringing our product to market.

QMS Management: Define, implement, and continuously improve our QMS processes in line with ISO 13485 and FDA regulations.
Gap Analysis & Technical Collaboration: Conduct gap analyses to identify areas needing improvement and implement corrective actions. Partner with engineering staff on design review meetings, SOPs, work instructions, and V&V testing.
External Liaison: Act as the primary contact and coordinate with notified bodies (TÜV, FDA, LaGeSo) and competent authorities.
Post-Market & Infrastructure: Support post-market surveillance, vigilance, and complaint handling (ensuring timely reporting under 21 CFR 803). Help build a simplified, practical reporting infrastructure that satisfies regulatory needs.
