Bioelectronics Engineer / Bioelectronics Lead
Location: Cambridge area
Salary: £45,000 to £65,000 depending on experience
Employment Type: Permanent
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Bioelectronics Engineer to join a fast-growing, venture-backed technology company operating at the intersection of bioelectronics, data, and advanced manufacturing. The company is a recognised pioneer in the application of bioelectronics within cultivated meat, with strong proprietary IP and a clear technical roadmap.
This role is ideally suited to an electronics-led bioelectronics engineer with strong hands-on experience, particularly in impedance-based sensing. The existing team already has deep expertise in mammalian cell culture and bioprocessing, and training can be provided in these areas where required.
The Role
You will play a key role in the design, development, and application of bioelectronic sensing technologies used to monitor cellular systems. The position is initially an individual contributor role, with clear scope to progress into technical leadership as the team grows. For the right candidate, the title Bioelectronics Lead can be offered.
You will work closely with engineers, scientists, and data specialists to help develop and evolve the company's core bioelectronics platform.
Key Responsibilities
Designing, developing, and validating bioelectronic sensors for cellular monitoring
Hands-on use of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
Analysing impedance data, including equivalent circuit modelling
Supporting sensor development and platform optimisation
Planning, executing, and presenting experimental results
Collaborating across engineering, biology, and data teams
Taking increasing technical ownership with future leadership potentialEssential Experience
Strong hands-on experience with EIS for cellular monitoring
Proven capability in impedance data analysis and equivalent circuit modelling
Electronics-led background within bioelectronics
Practical experience in circuit design, PCB development, and prototyping
Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Bioengineering, or similar
PhD or a minimum of 3 years' relevant post-graduate industry or research experience
Direct mammalian cell culture experience is not essential and can be trained.Desirable Experience
Development of impedance-based sensors
Advanced data analysis or AI applied to sensor or biological data
Integration of sensors into bioreactor or experimental systems
Prototyping or fabrication experience (CAD, 3D printing, lithography, etc.)
Equipment sourcing and technical procurementWhat's on Offer
Salary of £45,000 to £65,000
Equity or stock options
Private health insurance
Clear long-term progression within a growing technical organisation
Opportunity to work on genuinely novel, IP-led technology
Collaborative, multidisciplinary working environmentWhy Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage but well-funded organisation where bioelectronics is central to the product and IP strategy. You will have real technical ownership, influence over platform development, and the opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role over time
