Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: Harwell

We are seeking a Research Scientist with a strong background in the R&D of biosensing, implantable or in-vivo medical device technologies to help develop a next-generation, fully implantable system for continuous biomarker monitoring. Working across the complete system, you will investigate, model and prototype new technologies spanning mechanical systems, materials, electronics, energy and communications, solving complex multidisciplinary challenges that will shape the next generation of the device.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a scientifically rigorous and practically minded researcher who enjoys solving complex problems from first principles. Working within a multidisciplinary R&D team, you will combine theoretical modelling and simulation with hands-on experimentation and characterisation, developing proof-of-concept technologies and establishing how they will perform within a challenging biological environment. The role offers genuine scientific and engineering depth, with the opportunity to generate new ideas, develop intellectual property and contribute directly to an emerging healthcare technology.

The Company

We are a innovative healthcare technology company developing novel sensing platforms designed to generate continuous biological insight in an area of medicine that remains poorly understood. Our work combines advanced engineering, sensing technologies, materials science, embedded systems, and human physiology.

This is a highly collaborative R&D environment where scientists and engineers work across traditional discipline boundaries to investigate complex system-level challenges. The successful candidate will contribute directly to modelling activities, experimental investigations, prototype development, and technology evaluation work supporting the evolution of future platform technologies.

This opportunity would suit someone who is intellectually curious, scientifically rigorous, and motivated by the opportunity to contribute to ambitious research within a technically strong and collaborative team environment.

The Role

As Research Scientist, you will contribute to technical investigations into novel device and system technologies for implantable monitoring systems, combining modelling, experimental research, and hands-on laboratory work to evaluate future technology capabilities.

Responsibilities are likely to include:

  • Supporting the modelling and simulation of materials, mechanical behaviour, and system-level device features
  • Contributing to the development of mechanical components, PCB-based systems, fixtures, and research test rigs
  • Experimental design, system verification testing, and performance characterisation
  • Scientific programming and data analysis using tools such as Python
  • Interpretation and presentation of evidence-based research findings
  • Production of scientific reports and technical documentation
  • Supporting invention disclosures and intellectual property generation
  • Development of proof-of-concept research prototypes
  • Contributing to multidisciplinary research activities spanning engineering, materials, electronics, and biological systems

The successful candidate will be expected to apply strong scientific rigour, demonstrate structured problem-solving capability, and contribute effectively within a multidisciplinary research environment.

To be considered for this role of Research Scientist – Implantable Biosensing Systems, you will likely have:

Knowledge & Experience

  • A PhD, or equivalent industry experience, in Engineering, Physical Sciences, or a related technical discipline
  • Experience contributing to complex or multidisciplinary research projects
  • A track record of scientific contribution through publications, patents, or technical project work
  • Familiarity with…
