Trials Coordinator

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.

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.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.
