Mechanical Engineer

Cure Talent is delighted to be supporting an innovative UK based life sciences and medical technology company developing next generation diagnostic technology. As the business continues to scale its automated diagnostic platform, they are now looking to appoint a Mechanical Engineer to support the development of active mechanical systems within a state of the art laboratory environment in Bristol.
This is a hands on role within a growing organisation, offering broad exposure across mechanical design, prototyping and system level integration. You will play a key role in developing and refining mechanical systems for a complex automated biochemical processing platform, while maintaining the agility required in a fast paced, regulated environment.
Key responsibilities:

• Develop mechanical actuation and control methods to support an automated biochemical processing platform, contributing to the transition from research prototypes to integrated systems and devices
  
• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies including enclosures, internal frames, cartridge interfaces and precision mechanisms, applying design for manufacture and assembly principles
  
• Support hands on prototyping activities including build, modification and iterative refinement of mechanical designs
  
• Collaborate closely with engineering and scientific colleagues to ensure robust system level integration
  
• Support the development and maintenance of mechanical design documentation in line with design control requirements, participating in design reviews, risk management activities, and verification and validation testing
  
• Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineering staff on mechanical design and manufacture
  We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer with:
  
• An MEng or equivalent Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  
• A minimum of three years industry experience in mechanical design for complex electromechanical systems
  
• Strong hands on experience with prototyping and manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, machining and sheet metal fabrication
  
• Proficiency with Fusion360 or SolidWorks, with the ability to produce detailed engineering drawings
  
• Strong problem solving and systems thinking skills, with the ability to independently plan and deliver complex mechanical engineering work
  If you’re a hands on mechanical engineer looking for a role with genuine ownership and impact in a growing MedTech business, we’d love to hear from you
