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 HNC (or higher) qualified engineer with at least one year 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, control and instrumentation technology

The Role

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 3 years plus experience as a technician within an instrumentation, process control, medical devices, robotic or fluidic systems environment

  • Ability to read simple electrical/fluid schematics and use hand tools

  • 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.

  • Join a mission-driven biomedical company making a real difference to patients’ lives

  • Working in west central London

  • Work on advanced, multidisciplinary systems in a varied role

  • Be part of a growing, innovative team

  • Contribute meaningfully from day one

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.
