Medical Device Test Engineer
Are you passionate about medical devices and eager to play a key role in their development? Do you want to contribute directly to the clinical performance of devices, ensuring they meet the highest standards in real-world settings? We have an exciting opportunity for a Medical Device Test Engineer to join our client's team.

About the Role:
As a Medical Device Test Engineer, you will be at the heart of the device development process, designing, executing, and analysing tests that assess the performance of our medical devices. Your work will focus on evaluating how the device performs in clinical settings, ensuring it meets regulatory standards and delivers reliable results in real-world healthcare environments.

Key responsibilities include:

Developing and executing test cases to assess device performance.
Writing comprehensive test protocols and reports.
Setting up test rigs and conducting both manual and Python-based tests.
Designing tests from a clinical engineering perspective to ensure they represent the device's clinical performance.
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the device meets regulatory and clinical standards.
Identifying potential issues, errors, and challenges that may arise in clinical use and testing for them accordingly.This is a hands-on role, where you'll be actively involved in test execution, not software or mechanical design. You'll be focused on ensuring the device functions as expected within the clinical environment, looking at the device from a clinical and regulatory perspective.

What The Client is Looking For:

A strong background in biomedical, electronics, or computer science engineering, or similar degree
An interest in the clinical aspects of medical device development.
The ability to design, execute, and analyse tests that align with clinical performance criteria.
Experience or a keen interest in regulatory and clinical testing environments.
A practical, problem-solving mindset with the ability to think critically about device performance in real-world scenarios.Skills & Qualifications:

Degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electronics, or Computer Science or similar degree
Familiarity or interest in test rig setups, test case design, and data analysis.
Ability or interest to work with both manual testing and automated testing (e.g., using Python).
A passion for medical devices and a keen interest in their real-world application in healthcare settings.Salary: Up to £45,000

If you're looking to make a tangible impact in the development of medical devices and thrive in a practical, hands-on testing environment, KO2 want to hear from you!

Neurodiversity in Biotech Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Biotechnology is all about solving complex problems that affect real lives – from new medicines & vaccines to sustainable materials, diagnostics & gene therapies. To tackle those challenges, the sector needs people who think differently. That is exactly where neurodivergent talent comes in. If you have ADHD, autism, dyslexia or another form of neurodivergence, you might have been told that your brain is “too much”, “too distracted” or “too literal” for a lab or scientific career. In reality, many of the traits that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia are perfectly suited to biotech work – from spotting subtle patterns in experimental data to creative thinking around new solutions. This guide is written for biotechnology job seekers in the UK. We will explore: What neurodiversity means in a biotech context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map onto specific biotech roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you will have a clearer idea of where you might thrive in biotech – & how to set up your working environment so your differences become genuine superpowers.
