Hiring trends we’re seeing for 2025

  • EU MDR & UKCA fuel QA/RA demand. Quality‑system and post‑market surveillance specialists command 20 % salary premiums.

  • AI moves from pilot to production. Imaging, digital pathology and chat‑triage products need ML engineers comfortable with IEC 62304 & ISO 14971.

  • Point‑of‑care diagnostics surge. Microfluidics and LFA roles doubled year‑on‑year as hospitals decentralise testing.

  • Sustainable design becomes mandatory. Employers look for LCA experience and circular‑material choices in packaging & devices.

  • Hybrid beats fully remote. Three lab or site days is typical, but digital‑health software roles remain remote‑first.


How to maximise your applications

  1. Tailor your CV – quantify regulatory clearances, clinical trial outcomes or cost‑of‑goods savings.

  2. Use our filters – try “EU MDR + remote”, “robotics + London”, or “battery implant + contract” on MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk.

  3. Set a job alert – we’ll email you once the Hotlist is refreshed (next edition: October 2025).

  4. Network smartly – attend events like MedTech Expo UK, LSX World, ABHI Surgical Club & Digital Health Rewired; many employers above sponsor & interview on‑site.

  5. Upskill continuously – master design for manufacturing, IEC 60601 4th ed., SaMD cybersecurity and AI explainability to stay in demand.
