Senior Mechanical Engineer

Job description

The value of the global biotech market is predicted to surpass £100 billion in 2022 and with the advances in genetic engineering, genome sequencing, and DNA modification, these have been shown to have tremendous potential in many areas. This is why we are gladly partnered with an innovative, early stage biotech startup who are developing one-of-a-kind technologies for biomolecular condensate analysis.

Through their platform, the goal is to build a drug discovery engine based on the latest advancements in biophysics and artificial intelligence. The proprietary datasets feed into algorithms that is then used for target discovery, target validation and drug design.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for the engineering function to perform the following:

  • Working within a highly innovative group using microfluidics, protein and cellular biochemistry, optical microscopy, automated protocols, and data analysis to develop and apply our high throughput discovery platform
  • You will take ownership in concept development and the evolution of detailed design solutions using CAD (SolidWorks)
  • Using your technical knowledge to work with precise and challenging physical and biological requirements, identifying new technologies and electromechanical components that would increase system performance
  • System component prototyping, testing, validation, and lifetime testing
  • Increasing the level of automation in the discovery workflow and implementation of quality control for improved experimental yield

This role will be fully onsite just outside of west Cambridge, but they are soon moving to Central Cambridge near the train station.

They can offer a package of £50,000-70,000 base (DOE), plus bonus and share options.
