Electromechanical Technician - assembly & robotics

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing company at the forefront of advanced biomedical engineering. Are you an OND/HNC qualified engineer with at least three years 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 and lives? 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
• Fluid delivery and monitoring systems

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

• Mechanical assembly of enclosures, structures, robotic components, small drives and actuators, PCBAs, small looms assemblies, panels and screens, pumps and piping, filters, heaters
• In house and client‑based fault finding, rectification and diagnostics
• Component‑level testing and commissioning
• Cleanroom, GMP

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 assembly experience is NOT essential.

What We’re Looking For: The bar is high — but open to all backgrounds, even Selection is based on what you can demonstrate now.

• HNC, Apprenticeship or equivalent in Mechanical, Electrical or Instrumentation Engineering.
• Good understanding of engineering principles
• Able to read and interpret engineering drawings including some knowledge of BS8888, schematics
• Minimum 3 years of practical electromechanical engineering assembly experience in a controlled environment to SOP/work instructions (e.g. 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
• 5 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
• Some 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.

Why Apply?

• 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
