Salary: £45,000 to £65,000 depending on experience

Employment Type: Permanent

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Bioelectronics Engineer to join a fast-growing, venture-backed technology company operating at the intersection of bioelectronics, data, and advanced manufacturing. The company is a recognised pioneer in the application of bioelectronics within cultivated meat, with strong proprietary IP and a clear technical roadmap.

This role is ideally suited to an electronics-led bioelectronics engineer with strong hands-on experience, particularly in impedance-based sensing. The existing team already has deep expertise in mammalian cell culture and bioprocessing, and training can be provided in these areas where required.

The Role

You will play a key role in the design, development, and application of bioelectronic sensing technologies used to monitor cellular systems. The position is initially an individual contributor role, with clear scope to progress into technical leadership as the team grows. For the right candidate, the title Bioelectronics Lead can be offered.

You will work closely with engineers, scientists, and data specialists to help develop and evolve the company's core bioelectronics platform.

Key Responsibilities

Designing, developing, and validating bioelectronic sensors for cellular monitoring
Hands-on use of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
Analysing impedance data, including equivalent circuit modelling
Supporting sensor development and platform optimisation
Planning, executing, and presenting experimental results
Collaborating across engineering, biology, and data teams
Taking increasing technical ownership with future leadership potentialEssential Experience

Strong hands-on experience with EIS for cellular monitoring
Proven capability in impedance data analysis and equivalent circuit modelling
Electronics-led background within bioelectronics
Practical experience in circuit design, PCB development, and prototyping
Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Bioengineering, or similar
PhD or a minimum of 3 years' relevant post-graduate industry or research experience
Direct mammalian cell culture experience is not essential and can be trained.Desirable Experience

Development of impedance-based sensors
Advanced data analysis or AI applied to sensor or biological data
Integration of sensors into bioreactor or experimental systems
Prototyping or fabrication experience (CAD, 3D printing, lithography, etc.)
Equipment sourcing and technical procurementWhat's on Offer

Salary of £45,000 to £65,000
Equity or stock options
Private health insurance
Clear long-term progression within a growing technical organisation
Opportunity to work on genuinely novel, IP-led technology
Collaborative, multidisciplinary working environmentWhy Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage but well-funded organisation where bioelectronics is central to the product and IP strategy. You will have real technical ownership, influence over platform development, and the opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role over time

How Many Biotechnology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Biotech Job?

If you are trying to break into biotechnology or progress your career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know is endless. One job advert asks for PCR, another mentions cell culture, another lists bioinformatics pipelines, automation platforms or GMP systems. LinkedIn makes it worse, with people sharing long skills lists that make you wonder if you are already behind. Here is the reality most biotech employers will not say out loud: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand biological systems, can work accurately and safely, follow protocols, interpret results and contribute reliably to a team. Tools matter, but only when they support those outcomes. So how many biotechnology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer depends on the role you are targeting, but for most job seekers it is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Biotechnology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in biotechnology do not start by reading your CV word for word. They scan for credibility, relevance and risk. In a regulated, evidence-driven sector like biotech, the first question is simple: is this person safe, competent and genuinely capable of contributing in this environment? Whether you are applying for roles in research, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, clinical, bioinformatics or commercial biotech, the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK biotechnology look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why capable candidates are often rejected. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply.
