About Cymbathera
Cymbathera is developing an innovative bioelectronic therapy platform based on vagus nerve stimulation with the ambition to transform treatment of inflammatory diseases. This role offers a unique opportunity to build the company's supply chain, industrialization strategy and product platform from an early stage through commercialization.
Our approach uses a non-invasive targeted vagus nerve stimulation therapy to support the body’s own neural pathways - aiming to address pain where it starts, not just where it hurts. Founded by internationally respected physicians and pioneers in vagus nerve research, building on over 25 years of scientific discovery, Cymbathera’s technology is thoughtfully developed within a scientific and regulatory framework and currently in the process of FDA and MDR/CE approval.
Join us in bringing the next generation of vagus nerve therapy to patients – an innovation that represents one of the most advanced, least‑invasive approaches to pain management available today.
