Job description

Mechanical Design Engineer - Genomics Instrumentation - Cambridge

A growing biotechnology company, based in Cambridge, is currently looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to support the development of cutting-edge genomics instrumentation.

You will be working within a multidisciplinary team of engineering experts, including physicists, electronics engineers, software developers, and life sciences specialists. You'll be a key member of the team, contributing to the design and development of innovative devices that enable high-throughput genomic workflows and precision diagnostics.

We're looking for someone with experience in product design and development, ideally within medical devices, diagnostics, or scientific instrumentation. A background in mechanical engineering is essential, and experience working in regulated environments (ISO 13485, FDA QSR) would be highly beneficial.

The ideal candidate will have a few years of industry experience and be looking to take the next step in their career. You'll be involved in the full product lifecycle-from concept development and prototyping through to design for manufacture and product launch.

You'll be rewarded with a competitive salary, regular salary reviews, bonus scheme, pension, life assurance, and other excellent benefits you'd expect from a growing, forward-thinking organisation.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company that invests in its people and is making a real impact in the field of genomics. Due to expected interest, I recommend applying now to avoid missing out.
