Senior Engineering Technician - Medtech London 6-Month Contract

Location: London (on-site)
Contract: Initial 6-month contract
Rate: Competitive day rate (inside/outside IR35 depending on assessment)

Make an impact in medical device R&D.

CY Partners is supporting a pioneering Medtech organisation advancing molecular diagnostics with cutting-edge microfluidics and precision electromechanical systems. Operating to ISO 13485 within a BSL-2 lab environment, the team blends Engineering and biology to deliver rapid, accurate, life-changing diagnostic technology.

The opportunity

As a Senior Engineering Technician, you will troubleshoot, maintain, assemble, and optimise complex medical device prototypes and instruments used across R&D. You'll collaborate with engineers and scientists, own small technical projects, and uphold best practice documentation in a regulated setting.

What you'll do

• Diagnose & resolve issues on complex electromechanical instrumentation in a BSL-2 laboratory.
• Run tests using control software and workshop tools to support ongoing product development and verification.
• Assemble & maintain R&D devices, rigs, and fixtures-covering microfluidics, pneumatics, sensors, motion/temperature control, and fluid handling.
• Contribute technically across multi-disciplinary teams (Engineering, Medtech, Diagnostics, Biology).
• Create & maintain high-quality documentation (SOPs, BOMs, WIs, test reports) in line with ISO 13485 and QMS procedures.
• Own tasks/projects end-to-end, planning work and escalating risks proactively.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as an Engineering Technician in Medtech, medical devices, diagnostics, or another regulated industry.
• Strong troubleshooting and preventive maintenance on precision electromechanical systems.
• Hands-on rapid prototyping (e.g., CNC milling, 3D printing, laser cutting), electrical assembly, soldering, and basic CAD (e.g., SolidWorks).
• Comfortable in wet lab / BSL-2 settings and familiar with lab safety.
• Excellent documentation, communication, and attention to detail; methodical approach to quality in an ISO 13485 environment.
• Familiarity with issue tracking/project tools (e.g., Jira, Trello).

Nice to have: Experience with micro-pumps, valves, pressure/vacuum systems, thermal control, sensors, DAQ, or data logging in medical device R&D.

Why join?

• Work at the intersection of Engineering, microfluidics, and molecular diagnostics.
• Contribute directly to products that improve patient outcomes.
• Collaborative, innovation-led culture with clear impact and visibility.
• London-based 6-month contract offering immediate hands-on involvement in meaningful Medtech work.
