I'm from a team of first time startup doing a hardware medical device company. We have computer science, mechanical and electrical engineering background but very little experience with medical devices. Is this a big red flag for you guys?

If you seem very hungry to learn, then no, the lack of domain expertise is ok.

Hope @sama answer this question. IMHO hurry up to get a prototype in the client's hands. there you will know how good your team is and if you stand a chance in the industry (afaik your team looks very good)
