Carry out precise assembly of sensor components in batches of hundreds.

You will be part of an exciting journey as we develop ground-breaking new medical devices and this role will give you exposure to every stage of the product development lifecycle. Your role will grow as the company grows and alongside developing new technology you will help to shape our working practices and team culture.
