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

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.
