Developing next generation wearable medical devices designed to deliver clinically meaningful physiological insights beyond the hospital environment, the business is progressing from research and development into clinical validation and regulated market entry.

We have an opportunity for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join the organization and support the development of innovative wearable medical devices.

Reporting into the engineering team, this role will focus on the design, development and validation of mechanical systems for wearable medical devices. You will work across the full product lifecycle, contributing to the transition of early-stage concepts into robust, manufacturable and regulatory-compliant products.

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams across electronics, software and quality, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, clinically relevant wearable solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

* Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for wearable medical devices from concept through to production

* Create detailed 3D CAD models, engineering drawings and technical specifications

* Support prototyping, testing and iterative design activities across the product lifecycle

* Apply structured medical device development processes, including design control, risk management and verification & validation

* Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external suppliers to ensure designs meet manufacturing and quality requirements

Experience and Skills Required:

* Minimum 2 years’ experience in mechanical design within MedTech or a regulated product development environment

* Proficiency in CAD preferably SolidWorks, with experience producing detailed engineering drawings

* Knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes relevant to wearable devices, including plastics, elastomers and precision assembly

* Understanding of structured product development processes, including exposure to design control and risk management methodologies (e.g. FMEA)

This is a great opportunity to join a growing wearable MedTech business developing next generation physiological monitoring solutions, suited to a Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys working across the full product lifecycle within a regulated environment

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising biotech jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New Biotech Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Life Sciences Careers

The biotechnology job market in the UK is entering a new phase—one defined by scientific breakthroughs, targeted investment, and a growing pipeline of innovative employers. For professionals browsing BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, the key question is no longer just which companies exist, but which ones are scaling, hiring, and shaping the future of life sciences. In this article, we explore the new biotech employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK-based startups, scale-ups, and international firms with a growing UK presence. These organisations have recently secured funding, partnerships, or strategic backing—strong indicators of hiring momentum in the months ahead.
