Albus Health, an Oxford University spin-out, is a leader in nocturnal symptoms monitoring technology. We developed Albus Home, a contactless, multisensory platform that captures continuous, accurate physiological data without patients needing to wear or do anything.


How It Works Our hardware is deployed globally through clinical trial sites with participants in the study. It automatically feeds data directly into our cloud infrastructure. Using sophisticated machine learning and signal processing algorithms, we transform this raw data into the objective insights that we deliver to our pharmaceutical partners.


Our Impact at a Glance:



  • Proven Scale: Certified in 25 countries with over 5 billion data points collected to date.
  • Elite Partners: Trusted by the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and leading experts in respiratory medicine.
  • -Class Team: Our leaders have built health-tech unicorns and are global pioneers in drug development and healthcare technology.

We are currently in an ambitious growth stage, scaling our infrastructure rapidly to deliver on major new contracts. We are looking for driven individuals to join our-performing team and help us meet the increasing global demand for our technology.


About the Role

As a Digital Health Product Test Engineer, you will be the guardian of quality for the Albus Home platform. You will become the definitive expert on our ecosystem—spanning custom hardware, cloud applications, and advanced ML algorithms.


Reporting directly to the CTO, you will work at the intersection of technology and science. This is a hands-on role where your insights will directly influence our product roadmap and ensure that the life-changing data we provide to pharmaceutical partners is accurate, reliable, and compliant.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design & Strategy: Develop comprehensive system test specifications and test cases to ensure our products exceed both regulatory requirements and customer expectations.
  • Execution & Reporting: Lead the execution of system tests and compile detailed reports to greenlight product releases.
  • Automation: Collaborate with software engineers to build automated testing frameworks and streamlined reporting pipelines.
  • Data Validation: Coordinate data recording activities, comparing Albus Home outputs against "gold standard" clinical references to ensure peak algorithmic performance.

Essential

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
  • Experience: 2+ years in QA, software testing, or technical support, specifically with products that integrate both hardware and software.
  • Technical Rigor: A proven track record of managing defects and a deep understanding of the product development lifecycle (SDLC/PDLC).

Desirable

  • Regulatory Knowledge: Experience in regulated environments (ISO 13485, IEC 62304) or healthcare technology.
  • Industry Context: Background in a MedTech startup or experience within clinical trial operations.
  • IoT & Automation: Familiarity with IoT ecosystems and proficiency in scripting (e.g., Python) for test automation and data reporting.
  • Cross-Disciplinary Communication: The ability to translate complex technical issues between electronic, software, and clinical teams.


  • Competitive Compensation: A salary that reflects your expertise and the importance of this role in our growth.
  • Professional Growth: Accelerated career progression within a rapidly expanding company. You will work directly with global leaders in health-tech, drug development, and AI.
  • Mission-Driven Culture: The chance to work on a product that is making a tangible difference in clinical trials and patient lives globally.
  • Collaborative Environment: Join a friendly, high-performing team in a vibrant Oxford-based setting, with regular company socials and team-building activities.
  • Leading-Edge Technology: Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art sensor hardware and cloud-based ML infrastructure.

Work Location & Flexibility

This is primarily an on-site role based at our Oxford office, which allows for close collaboration with our engineering and hardware teams. While the nature of the role requires a consistent presence at the site to manage hardware and data recording, we offer flexibility for occasional remote work by prior arrangement.

Maths for Medical Technology Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for medical technology jobs in the UK it can feel like you need “serious maths” to get hired. In reality most MedTech roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a small set of practical topics that come up repeatedly across: medical device R&D & product development verification, validation & test engineering clinical evidence, usability & human factors support quality, regulatory, risk management & post market work software as a medical device (SaMD) & connected devices imaging, sensing, signal processing & on device algorithms This guide focuses on the maths you will actually use in common UK roles like Medical Device Engineer, Verification & Validation Engineer, Test Engineer, Quality Engineer, Regulatory Associate with technical scope, Software Engineer in MedTech, Systems Engineer, Clinical Data Analyst, Biostatistics adjacent roles, Biomedical Engineer, Imaging Engineer. You will learn: measurement uncertainty & stats for testing probability & risk thinking for hazard analysis basic modelling & curve fitting (the workhorse skill) signal basics for sensors & wearables linear algebra essentials for imaging & ML enabled devices optimisation thinking for thresholds, trade offs & performance You will also get a 6 week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section.

Neurodiversity in Medical Technology Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Medical technology sits at the intersection of health, engineering & innovation. From imaging & diagnostics to digital health apps, wearables & surgical robotics, medtech is about solving complex real-world problems that directly affect patients’ lives. To do that well, the sector needs people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a regulated, safety-critical industry. In reality, many traits that made school or previous jobs difficult can be huge strengths in medical technology – from pattern-spotting in clinical data to meticulous attention to detail in device testing. This guide is for neurodivergent job seekers exploring medical technology careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a medtech context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common medtech roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in medical technology – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.

Medical Technology Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the medical technology (MedTech) jobs market in the UK is changing fast. Hospitals and health systems are under pressure to do more with less. Diagnostics and devices are becoming smarter, more connected and more regulated. AI, robotics and remote monitoring are no longer “future tech” – they’re being built into mainstream care pathways. At the same time, budgets are tight, funding cycles are uneven and some healthtech start-ups are consolidating or being acquired. That means fewer vague “innovation” roles and more focus on medical technology jobs that directly support regulatory approval, patient safety, NHS adoption and commercial growth. Whether you are a MedTech job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams for medical device, diagnostics or digital health companies, this guide breaks down the key medical technology hiring trends for 2026.
