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!

Biotechnology Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the biotechnology jobs market in the UK is going through rapid change. Funding cycles are tighter, some organisations are restructuring or consolidating, & yet demand for specialist biotech skills remains strong – particularly in areas like cell & gene therapy, bioprocessing, mRNA platforms, bioinformatics & regulatory affairs. New therapies are coming through the pipeline, advanced manufacturing facilities are scaling up, & digital tools are transforming lab & clinical workflows. At the same time, some roles are being automated, outsourcing patterns are shifting, & hiring standards are rising. Whether you are a biotech job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build teams in a complex market, understanding the key biotechnology hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Biotechnology Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK biotechnology hiring has shifted from title-led CV screens to capability-driven assessments that emphasise validated lab results, documentation, GxP/QA/RA awareness, data literacy, digital biology tools & measurable impact from bench to bedside. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for wet-lab scientists, bioprocess/CMC engineers, QC/QA specialists, RA/clinical professionals, bioinformatics/data scientists & platform engineers. Who this is for: Biologists, biochemists, biotechnologists, cell & gene therapy scientists, upstream/downstream processing engineers, QA/QC analysts, validation engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical trial professionals, bioinformaticians, data scientists & biotech product/operations managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Biotechnology Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Biotechnology once meant pipettes, lab benches & research reports. But in today’s UK job market, biotech careers are no longer confined to wet labs or sequencing centres. As the sector expands into gene therapies, synthetic biology, personalised medicine, agricultural biotech, and bioinformatics, professionals are expected to integrate not just biology & chemistry, but also law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This change reflects a broader truth: biotechnology doesn’t happen in isolation. It impacts people’s health, the environment, food supply & society at large. That means careers in biotech now require more than scientific knowledge — they demand legal awareness, ethical reasoning, patient empathy, clear communication, and user-centred design. In this article, we’ll explore why biotech careers in the UK are becoming multidisciplinary, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design are shaping job descriptions, and what job-seekers & employers need to do to succeed in this transformed landscape.
