Cure Talent are delighted to be partnering with an innovative MedTech start-up developing next generation wearable technology to improve how vital signs are measured and monitored, with a focus on inclusivity, accuracy and accessibility.

This is an early stage opportunity for a Systems Engineer to join a growing team working on a breakthrough product that aims to bring hospital grade readings into the community setting. The device uses novel sensing technology to support patients across their healthcare journey, enabling early intervention and better-informed clinical decisions.

The business is now entering a critical stage of development as they work toward delivering a functional prototype of their new optical system-based sensor product. They’re looking for an R&D Engineer to provide hands on project support, helping to develop, integrate and test the full system in collaboration with internal teams and external partners.

The successful Systems Engineer will be:

  • Leading system integration and testing across multidisciplinary technologies

  • Supporting the development of a fully functional prototype for clinical use

  • Applying engineering best practices and design controls under ISO 13485

  • Bridging the gap between concept, prototype and production

  • Collaborating with internal teams and external suppliers to get the product right

    We are looking for a candidate with:

  • 2+ years in a regulated MedTech environment

  • Degree in Biomedical, Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline

  • Strong understanding of system level product development

  • Familiarity with medical device standards, design controls and risk management

  • Experience with optical sensing or signal processing technologies would be a bonus

    This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape a product that could genuinely transform patient care. You’ll have the chance to influence both the technical roadmap and the company culture, joining a small but growing team at a pivotal stage in their journey

Medical Technology Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

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.
