What’s in it for me?
Join a Cambridge med tech team, where you’ll help n redefining what’s possible in surgery. You’ll be part of a team developing cutting edge robotic systems that are transforming how operations are performed worldwide, improving patient outcomes and surgeon wellbeing. You’ll see excellent financial packages, in an environment which prioritises the people that work here. You’ll see a salary between £80,000 - £110,000, 8% employer contribution on pension, 15% annual bonus, BUPA Private Healthcare provided for yourself and your family, death in service 8x base salary, and plenty of other benefits.
You’ll have real visibility and influence; your ideas won’t disappear into layers of management. Expect the autonomy to shape technology that genuinely saves and improves lives, while working in a culture that values collaboration, curiosity and continuous learning.
 
What will I be doing?
As Principal Electronics Engineer, you’ll lead the design and development of complex electronic subsystems within a high-performance robotic platform spanning power, analogue, digital, FPGA and embedded technologies.
You’ll combine hands on technical work with technical leadership, mentoring talented engineers and guiding best practice across the team. Your designs will move from concept through to manufacture, shaping the architecture of a regulated, safety-critical system used in real clinical environments.
Expect to collaborate closely with mechanical, software, systems and manufacturing specialists solving multidisciplinary challenges and influencing decisions that define the next generation of surgical technology. You’ll help set the direction for electronics engineering, championing robust design, process improvement and innovation across the organisation.
 
Where will I be doing it?
You’ll be based at a state-of-the-art facility in Cambridge, surrounded by some of the brightest minds in medtech and robotics. It’s an environment that blends start-up agility with the scale and stability of a global business.
Whether you’re motivated by complex engineering, visible impact, or the opportunity to make surgery safer and more accessible for millions, this is a place where your expertise will truly matter.

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.
