Senior Systems Engineer - Cutting-Edge Medical Technologies - Oxford

We are currently looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to join a pioneering medical technology company based in Oxford. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of advanced implantable therapeutic systems that are set to transform patient care. As part of a growing R&D team, you'll take ownership of system architecture, documentation, and compliance across complex platforms, helping to drive innovation from concept through to clinical application.

This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role where you'll be involved in defining design inputs, managing system-level requirements, and supporting verification and clinical activities. You'll work closely with software, hardware, and quality teams to ensure seamless integration and alignment with international standards. The position is focused on implantable therapeutic technologies, with scope to support other innovative programmes as needed.

You'll be responsible for maintaining traceability across design and risk documentation, leading technical investigations, and supporting regulatory submissions. Your expertise in systems engineering and risk analysis will help drive safe, effective solutions in a fast-paced, regulated environment. The team values proactive problem-solvers who thrive in collaborative settings and bring clarity to complex technical challenges.

This opportunity is ideal for someone with a background in medical device development, particularly within implantable or regulated systems. Familiarity with ISO 14971, ISO 13485, and verification methodologies will be key, alongside strong communication skills and a detail-oriented mindset.

If you're looking to make a meaningful impact in a high-accountability setting-where innovation meets clinical application-this could be the next step in your career.

Summary: UK medical technology hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise regulatory‑aware product delivery (QMS, ISO 13485), software lifecycle & risk (IEC 62304/14971), usability (IEC 62366), clinical & regulatory strategy (MDR/UKCA), device cyber security & privacy, and measurable patient/clinical and commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for SaMD engineers, AI/ML in medical devices, product & quality engineers, regulatory/clinical affairs specialists, validation/verification, manufacturing/operations, and digital health roles. Who this is for: Software/firmware engineers in medtech, SaMD/AI engineers, systems & verification engineers, quality & regulatory affairs (QARA), clinical evaluation/PMCF specialists, human factors engineers, medical device cyber security & privacy, test/validation, manufacturing & operations, field/service engineers, and medtech product managers in the UK.

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.
