You will have the opportunity to work on development projects in medical robotics, but also: 

• Pharma and biotech; 

• Medical Diagnostic; 

• Smart implants; 

• Life sciences; 

• Ophthalmology; 

• And many other life changing medical specialties. 

The role 

You will be involved in a range of projects, including some of our biggest and most complex development projects, applying your expertise throughout the design process. You will be working in multidisciplinary teams, developing alongside mechanical, electronics, software, scientists, and designers, making an impact in the lives of patients.  

We have a culture that encourages our team members to take on the level of responsibility that suits them and provides support to learn and develop new skills both technically and professionally. You will have opportunities to take leadership roles, be involved in systems engineering, and have direct client-facing roles which may include sales activities. 

What you can bring 

The successful candidate will be excited by innovation in a regulated world, and how to adapt to meet the needs of clients, project teams, and the changing regulatory environment. You will be enthusiastic to use your knowledge of product development to help guide our teams of engineers, scientists, and designers to deliver the world-class service Cambridge Consultants is known for.  

You will have: 

Experience in robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field, with hands-on-experience including: 

• System design architecture for complex systems

• Experience in defining the specifications of actuators, gearboxes, and sensors 

• Experience in control of robot/mechanisms and integration of sensing and position tracking (plus) 

• Mechanism and machine design 

• Coding skills in object-oriented programming 

• PhD or equivalent research experience in robotics and relative disciplines.  

If applicable, please add your top three publications in relevant journals/conferences in your CV (e.g. TRO, ICRA, IROS, etc). 

In addition to the robotics focused experience above, you have an ability to: 

• Work within or lead multidisciplinary teams 

• Dynamically prioritise and manage a variety of projects competing for your time with ease 

• Clearly communicate complex ideas to an audience of varying technical background from engineers in different disciplines to non-technical clients  

Even better if you have, but we would still encourage you to apply without… 

• Knowledge and experience of working within regulated environments 

• Ability to get involved in writing of proposals and sales calls with prospective and returning clients 

• Knowledge of relevant product standards and guidance for medical device development
