Senior Electromechanical Engineer, Medical Devices
Permanent | UK | Medical Device / Diagnostics
Our client is a healthcare technology and diagnostics company developing FDA-regulated, point-of-care molecular diagnostic platforms that bring rapid, accurate infectious disease testing directly into clinical settings used across hospitals, clinics, universities, and public health organisations.
They’re now hiring aSenior Electromechanical Engineerto join their Systems Engineering team and help develop a next-generation diagnostic device that is intuitive, reliable, and secure by design.
The Role
You’ll work within a cross-functional Systems Engineering team on the conceptualisation, design, and testing of electromechanical equipment and systems for an FDA-regulated diagnostic instrument from sensors and actuators through to full system integration.
What you’ll be doing:
- Designing and testing electromechanical components- sensors, actuators, and related sub-systems
- Producing technical documentation: schematics, technical reports, and operational manuals
- Improving existing test equipment, processes, and data workflows
- Collaborating closely with software engineers to integrate electronic control systems into mechanical frameworks
- Investigating and evaluating new technologies to improve system performance
- Running detailed analysis on the viability and integration of new technology into existing systems
- Working with internal and external teams to implement engineering changes and refine manufacturing processes
About You
- MSc in Mechanical, Biomedical, Mechatronics, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline
