Medical Technology Jobs in Cambridge

• Cambridge
• On-site
• Senior

Design and develop complex medical devices as part of a multidisciplinary team of mechanical engineers, physicists and electronics engineers. The role is hands-on, spanning CAD, prototyping and functional mechanism design across multiple medical specialisms, including some surgical robotics, with variety rather than a single-device focus.

CAD

• Cambridge
• Entry level

Consultative, relationship-led business development role focused on medical device innovation, working with clients on surgical technologies, wearables, implantables and diagnostics. Involves building a pipeline, shaping proposals, negotiating commercial agreements and supporting go-to-market strategy, while collaborating closely with scientists and engineers. Suits a technically credible candidate, ideally post-doc level, who can translate scientific depth into client conversations and partnerships.
