Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer – Life Sciences / MedTech

Cambridge (on-site)

Competitive salary + bonus + benefits

I’m working with a high-end product development consultancy known for solving complex engineering challenges across life sciences, MedTech, and advanced technology sectors.

They’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys working on technically challenging projects, from early-stage concept through to functional prototypes and product development.

The Role

This isn’t a typical in-house design role.

You’ll be working across a range of projects, supporting the development of innovative devices and systems within life sciences and medical technology.

Typical work includes:

• Designing complex mechanical components and assemblies
• Developing concepts into working prototypes
• Contributing to full product development lifecycles
• Working closely with multidisciplinary teams (electronics, software, scientists)
• Solving challenging engineering problems across different industries

Projects vary, but often involve precision mechanisms, fluidic systems, or novel device concepts.

What They’re Looking For

• Background in Mechanical Engineering or similar
• Experience in product development, R&D, or design engineering
• Strong CAD skills (e.g. SolidWorks or similar)
• Comfortable working from concept through to prototype
• Interest or experience in life sciences, MedTech, or complex systems

You don’t need to come from a consultancy background, but you do need to enjoy variety and problem-solving.

Why This Role?

• Work on a wide range of cutting-edge projects rather than a single product
• Exposure to early-stage innovation and real-world applications
• Collaborate with high-performing, multidisciplinary teams
• Clear development into senior or consultant-level roles
• Strong reputation within the Cambridge engineering and innovation space
