Job Description

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.
