We are currently seeking to recruit an outstanding Electronics Technician with a proven passion for product development as part of our growing, dynamic technical team.

You will get the chance to work alongside other talented individuals on a diverse range of exciting and challenging projects, from well-known consumer products and novel transport solutions to safety-critical medical devices, knowing that with your input, you can make a real difference to people’s lives.

We operate in multi-functional project teams and our electronics team needs to work closely with designers, mechanical engineers, software engineers and other skill groups to integrate the visual and functional aspects of a product, creating class-leading designs.

What we expect

*

A great hands-on technician with excellent soldering skills and experience hand-reworking PCBs including the smallest surface mount components.

*

Experience of working in a development, not production, environment, hand-building circuit modifications or prototype circuit breadboards given an informal brief.

*

Good organisational skills: you will be responsible for upkeep of the electronics lab and equipment.

*

Familiarity with using electronics CAD systems to find information on PCB designs, progressing to PCB component creation and layout of test boards.

*

A can-do attitude with the ability to assimilate new information and learn new skills very quickly in a dynamic, consultancy environment.

*

Good verbal and written communication skills with colleagues. You will need to interact directly with the whole of the DCA team, receiving requests from multiple projects and managing your own time.

*

An enthusiastic, hardworking attitude and pride in your work. People at DCA are passionate about the creation and delivery of new products.

What you need

*

Direct experience hand-soldering electronics to a very high standard, including tiny surface mount components.

*

A working knowledge of PCBs and electronic circuit principles.

*

A relevant electronics qualification to supplement your skills and experience.

*

We will expect you to be able to work in our Warwick studios and you must, by the commencement of employment, have the right to work in the UK.

What we offer

*

The opportunity to work collaboratively with world-leading skill and sector experts on fascinating design and development projects with global impact, often seeing projects through from the initial exploratory front end to launch.

*

A hands-on role with more independence than working in a production environment, working as part of a design and development team on varied projects and solving problems.

*

You will get to work with some of the world’s most exciting and innovative brands and companies, including Bentley, GSK, Reckitt, Hitachi, Rolls-Royce and Sanofi, to tackle some of the most challenging issues.

*

The opportunity to grow with regular professional and technical development opportunities.

Benefits

*

We offer competitive salaries, with paid overtime.

*

22 days holiday + (extra days for long service up to 32 days).

*

A 37 hour working week with half day on Fridays, great for work-life balance.

*

A substantial annual discretionary profit-related bonus.

*

2 additional fixed holiday bonuses in (paid in July and December, totalling 3% of base pay).

*

Pension scheme.

*

Our Warwick campus with its town centre location is convenient for shops or grabbing a coffee.

Where to Advertise Medical Technology Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise medical technology jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and MDR/IEC 62304-aware channels that reach biomedical and medtech talent. The medtech candidate pool spans biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical scientists, software engineers working within IEC 62304 and MDR frameworks, imaging scientists and commercial professionals with deep healthcare sector knowledge. General job boards consistently conflate medical technology with broader healthcare, pharmaceutical and IT roles — producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist medtech positions. This guide, published by MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise medical technology roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK medtech hiring over the next three years — devices, diagnostics and digital health. Medical technology is one of those rare sectors where commercial ambition and genuine human impact point in exactly the same direction. The devices, diagnostics, digital health platforms, and AI-powered clinical tools that medical technology companies develop do not just generate revenue — they extend lives, reduce suffering, and change what is possible inside the clinical encounter. That combination of purpose and commercial scale makes the medical technology jobs market one of the most compelling in the entire UK life sciences and technology landscape. And that market is changing faster than at any previous point in the sector's history. The integration of artificial intelligence into diagnostic imaging, pathology, and clinical decision support has moved from research demonstration to regulatory approval and NHS deployment. Wearable and implantable devices are generating continuous patient data at a scale that is transforming how chronic conditions are monitored and managed. Digital therapeutics — software that delivers clinically validated therapeutic interventions — have emerged as a recognised product category with its own regulatory pathway. Surgical robotics has moved from a premium offering at a handful of specialist centres to a mainstream surgical platform whose capabilities are expanding with each generation. For job seekers, the medical technology jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both broader and more technically demanding than it was three years ago. The roles being created now span a wider range of disciplines, require a more sophisticated understanding of the intersection between technology and clinical practice, and carry higher regulatory expectations than the medtech jobs of even a short time ago. This article breaks down what the UK medical technology jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve in one of the most consequential sectors in the UK economy.

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

Medical technology tools for UK medtech jobs in 2026: how many CAD, regulatory (ISO 13485, FDA), MATLAB and clinical software tools you really need on your CV. If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.
