Medical Devices – Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Cambridge
Due to successful growth plans, a Medical Devices organization based in Cambridge is currently seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to contribute to the development and improvement of life-saving Medical Devices.
Collaborating closely with other industry experts, such as electronics design engineers, software engineers, physicists, and other Medical Devices specialists, you will tackle some of the most complex challenges in the development of new Medical Technologies.
Ideally, you will have a background in developing new Medical Devices throughout the entire design life cycle, adhering to ISO 13485 standards. If you have not worked on Medical Devices, we will consider candidates from other highly regulated industries such as life sciences, robotics, product development, etc.
For the 3D CAD elements of your role, you will primarily use SolidWorks. Familiarity with this tool would be advantageous, but we are open to considering other 3D CAD tools if you have a proven track record of quickly acquiring new skills.
When discussing complex problems, it would be beneficial if the Medical Devices you have worked on have involved fluidics, mechanism design, thermal issues, FEA, or other intricate applications. We do not expect you to have experience in all of these areas; they are just a few examples of the challenges you may encounter.
This company is experiencing growth but remains at a size where your work will significantly impact the company's success and projects. Therefore, we are seeking a team player accustomed to collaborating with diverse individuals both within and outside of the organization.

The Apprentice will be working towards the Level 3 Engineering and Manufacturing Support Technician Apprenticeship Standard
Qualifications include the EAL Level 3 Diploma in Engineering and manufacturing support technologies
All college attendance will be at Colchester Institute at our Colchester Campus one day per week
Training Outcome:
We hope that successful completion of this Apprenticeship program will result in a full time permanent position of Junior Electrical Draftsman within our R & D team in Colchester
This is an Electrical/Electronic design support role, however, it is possible to follow various exciting future career paths, as skills are developed, and further qualifications are gained. Depending upon key determining factors, such as ambition, training, experience and personal preferences, the progression beyond the Technician level may potentially lead to a Designer or Engineer level position within the R & D environment

Reporting to an Engineer Lead, the engineering apprentice will have the opportunity to develop both a practical and academic understanding of engineering. Throughout the apprenticeship, engineers at the beginning of their career will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and learning to various business initiatives and engineering programs.
The engineering apprentices primarily work on all stages of product creation and modification. They support activities ranging from early concept feasibility, design and development stages right through to final preparation for launch and customers. This includes working on rapid prototyping, assembly, testing, validating and analysing performance. Typically working closely with engineers to bring new concepts to life or supporting redesigns of existing products.
