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 communicate 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)

Why you'll love working here

We’re a dynamic and fast-growing engineering consultancy that takes pride in its outstanding work and supportive work environment.

As a member of our team, you’ll collaborate with a diverse group of skilled professionals who excel in their respective fields. Our strong community is built upon effective communication and happy employees, collaboration in project work and regular social events are the norm.
