Optical Systems Engineer – Medical Devices – Cambridge
Following continued growth, a Medical Devices organisation is currently recruiting for someone to come into the team and focus on the optical systems design.
Based in Cambridge, working with mechanical engineers, electronics engineers and software engineers to develop their life-improving medical devices.
As you will be focusing on optical systems design, it is expected that you have been working as an optical physicist, optical engineer, optical systems engineer, optical systems designer, opto-mechanical engineer or another role that has involved you in working on optical systems designing, prototyping, and testing of new medical devices.
You will be developing a range of medical technologies, so you will need to be able to use optical design tools such as Zemax, Code-V, OSLO, FRED or another similar technology.
Due to the collaborative nature of the work, you will need to be able to communicate your ideas and project updates clearly and concisely.
We are looking at various levels of industry experience, from PhD entry through to someone who has 15-20 years of experience.
We expect you to hold a degree within a subject that led you into optical systems design roles. Master’s and PhD education would also be beneficial, but not essential.
In addition to working on industry-changing technologies, you will be offered a proven career development plan, continuous training to keep you at the forefront of the medical devices sector, excellent salary, bonus, enhanced pension, medical insurance, free meals and other excellent benefits you’d expect from a multinational blue-chip organisation.
If you need to relocate to Cambridge, there are relocation packages that are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
We anticipate strong interest in this position, so apply now to ensure consideration.
