Mechanical Engineer - Programme Manager - Medical Devices - Cambridge

Due to growth in company output, there is a need for a new Programme Manager with a Mechanical Engineering background. Based in Cambridge, you will lead several projects. Some projects will involve supporting and mentoring junior staff, while others will require you to handle mechanical design aspects yourself.

We seek someone with hands-on experience developing new Medical Devices technologies in their current role, particularly in electro-mechanical Medical Devices such as implantable devices, wearable tech, or other technologies compliant with EN60601 standards.

Applicants should hold a relevant degree in a suitable subject leading to a Medical Devices Mechanical Engineering role. A master's or PhD is advantageous but not essential; industry experience is more important.

The technologies you will develop are lifesaving and life-improving medical devices, industry-disrupting innovations that will impact thousands of lives.

This role involves working with external and internal stakeholders, requiring strong communication skills, both virtual and in person. Experience in communicating project updates and changes is beneficial.

Knowledge of EN60601 is mentioned, but a strong understanding of ISO 13485 is essential.

Successful candidates often have a highly technical hobby, such as building drones, tinkering with engines, or programming. Highlight such hobbies on your CV to improve your chances of securing an interview.

In addition to working on groundbreaking technologies, you will receive a proven career development plan, ongoing training, a competitive salary, bonus, enhanced pension, medical insurance, free meals, and other benefits typical of a multinational blue-chip organization.

Interest in this role is expected to be high, so apply now or ensure your application is considered.

Why Medical Technology Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Medical technology (medtech) is transforming healthcare in the UK — from wearable sensors to AI diagnostic tools, from surgical robots to telemedicine platforms. Advances in hardware, software, data and connectivity are enabling more personalized, efficient and accessible care. But with great power comes great responsibility. As medical devices and health technologies enter hospitals, clinics and consumers’ homes, professionals in this domain must master much more than engineering and algorithms. They must also understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. That is, medtech careers are now deeply multidisciplinary. In this article, we explore why medical technology careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five allied fields now intersect with medtech work, and what job-seekers and employers should do to succeed in this evolving ecosystem.

Medical Technology Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern MedTech Department

Medical technology (MedTech) spans everything from wearable health devices and surgical robots to diagnostic imaging, in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), digital therapeutics, AI-driven triage, and Class I–III medical devices. In the UK, the sector touches NHS care pathways, private providers, and global markets—with stringent expectations for safety, clinical evidence, cybersecurity, and data privacy. As ventures scale from prototype to regulated product, clear team structures become the difference between promising pilots and licensed, market-ready devices. Whether you’re hiring your first clinical specialist or applying for a role in QA/RA, this guide explains who does what in a modern MedTech department, how functions collaborate across the product lifecycle, UK-typical skill sets and salaries, common pitfalls, and best practices for building a resilient team.
