Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out practical mechanical and functional testing on medical and drug delivery devices.
  • Support testing activities across a variety of projects and contribute towards key project milestones.
  • Perform environmental conditioning, visual inspections and measurements including dimensions, weight and force.
  • Assist with electronic testing and assembly, bespoke test rigs and pressurised systems where required.
  • Handle chemicals, pharmaceutical formulations and other materials in accordance with appropriate safety procedures.
  • Follow established SOPs, work instructions, test methods and protocols.
  • Accurately record test results and produce reliable, high-quality test data.

About You

This role would suit someone with a scientific or technical background who enjoys practical, hands-on work and is looking to develop their experience within the medical device industry.

You’ll ideally have:

  • A-Level or equivalent in Maths.
  • A qualification or demonstrable background in at least one scientific subject.
  • Experience recording experimental or test data accurately.
  • Previous experience working in a laboratory, testing or technical environment would be advantageous.

This is a great opportunity to join a specialist technical environment where you’ll gain exposure to a broad range of medical device testing, R&D and product development projects.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop practical laboratory and testing skills while working alongside experienced professionals on products that ultimately support healthcare applications.

This is a full-time, laboratory-based position and requires the successful candidate to work on-site.
