Job description

Overview

At LEX Diagnostics, we're not just making consumables, we're helping doctors and patients get answers faster, at the moment they're needed most. As a Manufacturing Technician, you'll play a hands on role in producing the cartridge consumables that power our breakthrough diagnostics system.

Responsibilities

• Working as part of a small and close knit manufacturing team to produce high-quality cartridge consumables
• Making sure production runs smoothly, keeping colleagues updated, timelines on track, and documentation accurate
• Taking ownership when something doesn\'t look right, spotting issues, raising them quickly, and helping us improve every day

Work pattern

Right now we work 09:00 to 17:30. But as we scale our assembly team into 2026, we plan to move towards a shift pattern of 06:00 to 14:00 and 14:00 to 22:00

This isn\'t a job where you\'re hidden in the background. You\'ll see the impact of your work as our platform moves closer to product launch.

Requirements

We\'re a fast-moving company where teamwork and adaptability matter as much as technical skills. You\'ll thrive here if you bring:

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Hands on assembly skills
• A good understanding of stock management
• Experience working in cleanroom environments (ideally with ISO 13485 or cGMP)
• Familiarity with Quality Management Systems (QMS)
• Above all, a proactive, can-do attitude when challenges arise

Benefits

2025 is a milestone year for us. We\'ve just submitted dual 510(k) CLIA waiver applications to the U.S. FDA. That means the consumables you help produce will be central to a high-impact launch that can elevate your own career as much as it strengthens us.

And you\'ll be part of a growing team that\'s scaling from startup to international diagnostics powerhouse, without losing the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that made us successful.

• We want you to thrive, personally and professionally.
• Salary of £27,000 to £35,000 per annum depending on experience
• 10% employer pension contribution (+3% personal contribution)
• Private Medical Insurance & Life Insurance (Family Cover)
• 25 days\' holiday plus bank holidays
• Discounts and memberships to local sports facilities and theatres

This is your opportunity to join a team that\'s shaping the future of point-of-need diagnostics. If you\'re hands-on, proactive, and excited to see your work make a difference in healthcare, we\'d love to hear from you.
