The Role

As an Engineering Technician, you will work across a broad range of activities including:

• Mechanical assembly of enclosures, structures, robotic components, small drives and actuators, PCBAs and small looms assemblies
  
  
• In house and client-based fault finding, rectification and diagnostics
  
  
• Supplier liaison – purchasing and bought-out non-conformities
  
  
• Component-level testing and commissioning
  
  This is a hands-on, varied position within a highly technical and fast-moving environment. Full training and instruction will be given and previous medical or assembly experience is NOT essential
  
  What We’re Looking For

• HNC, Degree or equivalent in Mechanical, Electrical or Instrumentation Engineering.
  
  
• Good understanding of engineering principles
  
  
• Able to read and interpret engineering drawings inc some knowledge of BS8888,
  
  
• Minimum 1 year (or many) of practical engineering experience (eg assembly, manufacturing, machining, test, design or similar) within instrumentation, medical, robotic, aerospace, avionics, defence, nuclear, motorsport or any regulated industry
  
  
• Demonstrated ability to apply original thought and affect change (not simply follow instructions)
  
  
• Strong structured thinking — able to explain reasoning clearly (e.g. using “5 Whys” problem-solving)
  
  
• Clear, concise and effective communication skills within a benevolent and team-focused environment
  
  
• Right to work in UK indefinitely
  
  
• Commutable of west London or willing to relocate
  
  Desirable

• soldering to IPC level
  
  
• manual/low volume machining
  
  
• light fabrication
  
  
• ISO EN 13485
  
  We’re looking for individuals with curiosity, structured thinking, and the confidence to improve procedures— not just maintain them.
