Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Cell & Gene Therapy Systems - Cambridge
We are working with a leading medical devices and biotech company, based in Cambridge, to recruit a Senior Manufacturing Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges across global teams. This role offers the opportunity to lead multiple projects that scale up advanced bioreactor and consumable systems, supporting commercial manufacturing across the UK, Europe, and occasionally further afield.
You will be responsible for transferring products from development into full-scale manufacture, ensuring quality and compliance with ISO 13485 standards. Your work will include instrument qualification, supplier alignment for CE and UKCA certification, and the creation of robust documentation, including SOPs and Work Instructions. You will collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners, acting as a key technical interface across continents.
We are seeking someone with a strong background in manufacturing engineering within biotech, medical devices, or automation. You will bring hands-on experience in product transfer, regulatory documentation, and customer-facing technical support. A degree in chemical engineering, biotechnology, or a related field is essential, along with a passion for continuous improvement and collaborative problem-solving.
This is an opportunity to join a company that is redefining how biotechnologies and medical devices are manufactured. You will be part of a team that values technical hobbies, mentoring, and global impact, with flexible working options and a culture that supports both professional and personal growth.
In return, you will receive a competitive salary, annual bonus, private healthcare, generous pension contributions, and access to a wide range of lifestyle and professional development benefits.
Alternatively, submit your application and a member of our team will be in touch. Please note that without a CV, we can only provide limited information.
