Job description

This is a great opportunity to join our team and play a key role in shaping the future of the Cellular Origins’ Constellation system. As a Test and Development Engineer, you’ll sit at the heart of product delivery, working closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists to bring our vision to life through development, integration, and rigorous testing. You’ll help to ensure our robots and automated systems meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and compliance. Working together with design teams, you will initially be focused on development and integration of our system elements, creating test strategies, plans and protocols running procedures, and evaluating performance to ensure functionality, performance and reliable operation. Your experience working with mechatronics systems will help you to diagnose faults, provide feedback to the design team and recommend solutions. In the longer term, you will transition to more formal verification of our system elements, generating protocols, managing changes, maintaining traceability, overseeing verification activities and writing reports. Your attention to detail and strong documentation will make you key to successful system verification and release. This is somewhere to really make your mark, working in a technically challenging and impact-driven venture, with bright and committed peers, to define the future of cell therapy manufacturing.

Essential

• A strong engineering background gained either by degree or vocational route.
• Proven experience of testing and other means of verification, and troubleshooting complex mechatronics systems, preferably within a product development environment.
• Robust technical analysis and documentation skills including generating Test Protocols and Test Reports.
• Capable of applying statistical and data analysis, simulation, and engineering modelling techniques to evaluate product performance, predict behaviour, and generate actionable insights that drive design improvement.
• Ability to identify failure modes, conduct structured root cause investigations, and implement data-driven corrective actions to improve product reliability and robustness.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams and fast-paced environments.

Desirable

• A solid understanding of robotic automation system and robot integration, control systems, and testing methodologies.
• Familiar with modern programming languages such as Python and robotic software frameworks (ROS).
• Experience working within development of robotic automation systems and robots.

Cellular Origins is currently based on the TTP Campus, within purpose-built sustainable offices, labs and green surroundings, 10 miles south of Cambridge. Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and collaboration, while providing you the freedom to do your best work.

Our employee benefits include:

• Employer pension contribution of 10% of salary
• Private medical insurance for employees and dependants
