Electronics Engineer - Cancer Instrumentation - Cambridge

A growing Medical Devices Division is currently seeking an Electronics Engineer to contribute to the development of new Cancer Instrumentation devices, based in South Cambridge.

You will work on a wide range of electronics design tasks, including, but not limited to, power electronics, digital/analogue electronics, RF, and other complex fields such as thermal, motion control, and electro-mechanical or electro-medical devices. While it is not expected that you have experience in all these areas, having expertise in as many as possible would be advantageous.

Specifically, you will need experience working within the Medical Devices sector adhering to ISO 13485 or EN 60601 standards. You will focus on Cancer Instrumentation devices designed to improve the survival rates of cancer patients. However, experience in other Medical Devices or Scientific Instrumentation will also be considered.

The company boasts state-of-the-art labs and workshops specially designed to support your success. They also provide on-site gym facilities, nearby running and cycling tracks for your fitness needs, and wellness programs to assist you as needed.

It is expected that you hold a degree in electronics or a related field that has prepared you for an electronics engineer role within the Medical Devices sector.

In addition to the challenging work and exceptional facilities, you will receive a competitive starting salary, bonuses, pension benefits, healthcare coverage, dental benefits, and other perks typically associated with blue-chip companies.

If you are interested in working on life-saving technologies, we recommend applying now to avoid missing out on this excellent opportunity.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
