Join a pioneering team revolutionising factory automation for medical manufacturing

At the forefront of transforming the availability and affordability of cutting-edge medical treatments, this company is developing a state-of-the-art automated manufacturing systems powered by advanced robotics and machine learning. With the clear goal to reduce the cost of life saving treatments and over 10-years’ experience working in this area they are confident in their approach and are now building up an engineering team to deliver their products quickly and at scale.

As a key member of the engineering team, you will be responsible for ensuring designs are robust, reliable, and manufacturable. You will be working on anything from small-scale precision electro-mechanical devices through to large-scale automated manufacturing systems. Your role is critical to ensuring these systems can be produced at scale and perform reliably, both key to driving down the cost of this new class of medical treatments.

Requirements:

  • Industrial experience designing, developing, and delivering products into manufacture

  • Specific experience developing precision electro-mechanical devices or aseptic medical equipment

  • Highly skilled with both analytical design techniques (e.g. tolerance analysis) and 3D CAD systems (ideally SolidWorks)

  • Full and unrestricted rights to work in the UK without time limit

    A background in medical devices, life science instruments, consumer products, automotive, or aerospace would be valuable, but is not required.

    Located in brand-new, state-of-the-art offices amidst peaceful surroundings in the outskirts of Cambridge, you’ll work with a passionate team of engineers on challenging, impactful projects. On offer is a comprehensive benefits package, including generous pension contributions, private medical insurance, enhanced family-friendly leave, and a supportive, collaborative work environment.

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

Advertising medical technology jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

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

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.
