Job description

Position Overview

We’re on the lookout for exceptionally talented individuals with a first-class engineering degree (biomedical, mechanical, aerospace, materials) or similar (physics, data science, maths etc.) to join our Life Sciences team. You will join a team of expert engineers and scientists working on unusual, exciting projects to break new ground in medical devices and biotechnology across European and US markets.

A typical week developing medical technologies might include:

• Planning experiments and designing test rigs (30%)
• Physics-based modelling (e.g. FEA or CFD) and data analysis (30%)
• Ideating and prototyping novel designs (20%)
• Collaborating with clients and university technology labs (10%)
• Reading scientific literature to explore new ideas and techniques (10%)

So if you’re comfortable with at least 50% of the above, you’ll quickly be brought up to speed by the team for the rest.

Check out what our Life Sciences team is all about: Crux - Life Sciences.

Principal Responsibilities

• Planning and running scientific experiments
• Developing medical devices technology
• Supporting nonclinical, preclinical and clinical studies
• Communicating with other science and technology experts
• Ideating novel tools, methods, and solutions for medical device innovation

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• First-class engineering degree or similar (PhD is a bonus)
• Experience in either test rig design and hands-on experiments, or computational modelling (FEA/CFD/math modelling)
• Proactivity and enthusiasm for problem solving and personal growth
• CAD modelling experience
• The ability to communication complex technical concepts to various stakeholders
• Industrial experience in engineering, biomedical technology, or academic research

Desirable

• Demonstrable impact on projects is more important than number of years’ experience
• Biomedical or clinical work experience
• Familiarity with some form of biomedical imaging (e.g. MRI, CT, or ultrasound)
• Capable of quickly and critically reviewing scientific papers or technical documents
• Coding experience (e.g. Python, Matlab)
