Do you want to join the STORM lab and be part of an exciting project developing a cutting edge robotic system that could revolutionise endoscopy? 

We are a small team of engineers and clinicians working on an innovative device to improve patient quality of life and survivability from colorectal cancer: the Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE). As a talented and enthusiastic individual, you will be a vital part of the team, taking up a fast-paced and varied role that brings this technology to first-in-human trials. You will have exposure to extensive career development opportunities in the field of medical device development, both in industry and academia.

As an Electronics Engineer in Medical Device Development your main role will be to lead the design, fabrication and testing of MDR compliant electronic components for the MFE.

We are looking for someone who can start as soon as possible and ideally before September 2020.
