Advanced Biomedical Technology | West London full time on site

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing company at the forefront of advanced biomedical engineering.

Are you an ONC/HNC (or higher) qualified technician/engineer with at least three years of practical experience?

Do you enjoy solving problems, thinking independently, and making tangible improvements?

Would you like to work for a cutting-edge biomedical company transforming healthcare?

If so, this could be the opportunity for you.

The Company

An innovative West London–based biomedical start-up, is designing and manufacturing advanced laboratory and clinical cell-manufacturing equipment. Their technology is revolutionising healthcare by automating the production of stem cells with minimal human intervention.

Their systems integrate, mechanical assemblies, electrical systems, robotics/mechatronics, fluid control, and instrumentation technology

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, senors and actuators, PCBAs, small looms, pipes and specialist consumable items.

* In house and client-based fault finding, rectification and diagnostics

* Supplier liaison

* 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
