Optical Systems Engineer - Medical Devices - Cambridge
\n
We are working with a leading Medical Devices company in Cambridge to recruit an Optical Systems Engineer who will play a key role in the development of industry disrupting and lifesaving/improving Medical Technologies.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll be designing and integrating optical systems into complex medical technologies. From early feasibility through to product launch, you'll be involved in every stage of development, helping to shape devices that improve diagnostics, treatment, and patient outcomes across a range of clinical applications.
\n
\n
You'll be joining a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists, collaborating on projects that demand precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of how optics interact with mechanical, electronic, and biological systems. Your work will span simulation, prototyping, testing, and refinement, with a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and real-world usability.
