Job Description

Graduate Opportunity – Quality Systems Engineer | Medical Devices

Are you an engineering graduate with a passion for medical technology? Have you worked on uni projects involving medical devices, regulatory frameworks, or quality systems?

I’m recruiting for a brilliant entry-level Quality Systems Engineer role with a growing medical device company that’s just completed an exciting acquisition.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in helping integrate the newly acquired business’s Quality Management System (QMS) into the existing framework. Once that’s done, you’ll continue to support and improve the system, with lots of exposure to global standards like ISO 13485, MDR, and 21 CFR 820.

What you'll be doing:

• Supporting QMS integration projects alongside experienced engineers
• Helping standardise procedures and close compliance gaps
• Assisting with the transition to a digital QMS (eQMS) platform
• Managing key documents like SOPs and forms
• Getting involved with non-conformance reports (NCRs), internal audits, CAPAs, and supplier assessments
• Driving continuous improvements and process optimisation projects
• Learning how to prepare for external audits and regulatory inspections

What we're looking for:

• A degree in Engineering (Biomedical, Mechanical, or similar)
• University project or experience in medical devices, quality, or product development
• A keen eye for detail and strong organisational skills
• A willingness to learn about ISO standards, medical device regulations, and QMS best practices
• Great communication and teamwork skills

This is the perfect first step into MedTech for someone excited to build a career in Quality & Regulatory Affairs. You'll be mentored by a highly experienced team and get hands-on with real projects from day one.
