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.
