Senior Systems Engineer – Cutting-Edge Medical Technologies – Oxford
We are currently looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to join a pioneering medical technology company based in Oxford. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of advanced implantable therapeutic systems that are set to transform patient care. As part of a growing R&D team, you’ll take ownership of system architecture, documentation, and compliance across complex platforms, helping to drive innovation from concept through to clinical application.
This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role where you’ll be involved in defining design inputs, managing system-level requirements, and supporting verification and clinical activities. You’ll work closely with software, hardware, and quality teams to ensure seamless integration and alignment with international standards. The position is focused on implantable therapeutic technologies, with scope to support other innovative programmes as needed.
You’ll be responsible for maintaining traceability across design and risk documentation, leading technical investigations, and supporting regulatory submissions. Your expertise in systems engineering and risk analysis will help drive safe, effective solutions in a fast-paced, regulated environment. The team values proactive problem-solvers who thrive in collaborative settings and bring clarity to complex technical challenges.
This opportunity is ideal for someone with a background in medical device development, particularly within implantable or regulated systems. Familiarity with ISO 14971, ISO 13485, and verification methodologies will be key, alongside strong communication skills and a detail-oriented mindset.
If you’re looking to make a meaningful impact in a high-accountability setting—where innovation meets clinical application—this could be the next step in your career.

Principal Usability Engineer – Implantable Medical Devices – Oxford
We are working with a pioneering medical technology company in Oxfordshire to recruit a Principal Usability Engineer who will lead the design and evaluation of intuitive, user-centred implantable devices. This is a rare opportunity to shape how surgical teams and clinicians interact with transformative technologies, ensuring that every touchpoint is purposeful, accessible, and grounded in real-world clinical workflows.
The role is based in Oxfordshire and offers hybrid working, with three days on-site including Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Occasional travel to partner sites across Europe will be required, so a willingness to travel is essential. This is a direct hire with a medical devices company, not a design consultancy.
You will champion usability across the full product lifecycle, from early concept development to post-market evaluation. Working closely with engineering, clinical, and design teams, you will ensure that user needs drive design decisions rather than simply meeting regulatory compliance. Your work will span formative and summative usability studies, interface refinement, and continuous evaluation of user experience across a portfolio of implantable technologies.
You will lead usability studies in clinical and simulated environments, translate user insights into actionable design inputs, and collaborate with industrial designers, software engineers, and systems teams to refine workflows and interactions. You will contribute to usability documentation for regulatory submissions, represent usability in design reviews and stakeholder presentations, and mentor internal teams while managing external partners.
To succeed in this role, you will bring a strong background in usability engineering, UX design, or human-computer interaction within regulated environments. Experience with surgical or implantable medical technologies is highly desirable. You should be confident in leading usability studies, synthesising complex user data into clear design direction, and communicating effectively across multidisciplinary teams. Familiarity with tools such as Axure, Figma, or Adobe XD is beneficial, alongside a proactive mindset and a deep empathy for users.
This is more than a technical leadership position. It is a chance to influence how innovative medical technologies are experienced in real-world clinical settings. You will be joining a company that values design thinking, continuous learning, and meaningful impact.
The role offers a competitive package including shares or equity, life assurance, pension, private healthcare, income protection, and an employer discount scheme—benefits more commonly found in larger organisations.
