Overview

As a Product Development Engineer you’ll play a vital role in both the development and practical application of our filtration system. Working closely with the bead development team, you’ll help design, build, and test prototypes, including clinical-scale and miniaturised versions used for preclinical investigations. You’ll also support the integration of our system into clinical-grade extracorporeal circuits for in vivo and clinical use. This is a hybrid role combining hands-on laboratory work with planning and coordination responsibilities. You’ll contribute directly to prototype development and testing, while also supporting activities such as supplier engagement, resource planning, and risk analysis. Your work will span the design of new components, drafting and refining protocols, conducting experiments, analysing results, and preparing technical documentation.Responsibilities
