At LEX Diagnostics, we're rethinking how the world tackles infectious disease. Our technology is enabling faster, more accurate testing, right where it's needed most. Every design decision here has the potential to directly improve patient care around the world.


Overview

We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems and turning ideas into manufacturable solutions. You’ll spend time in CAD as in the lab, conceptualising, modelling, testing and refining designs that need to perform flawlessly when they leave the lab and become real, working products. You’ll work at the intersection of mechanical, thermal, fluidic, optical, and electrical disciplines to create designs that bring these elements together into a robust, reliable product.

Why this role matters: Our diagnostics are used in settings where every second counts. The design solutions you spearhead, and the engineering principles you apply, directly determine how reliably our devices work in the real world. From the first sketch to the final assembly, your designs will be pivotal to getting life-saving tools into the hands of clinicians.


What you’ll be doing

* Formulating design and product requirements to meet genuine technical needs
* Supporting design choices with first-principles analysis, so that every feature is grounded in engineering reasoning
* Working across disciplines to ensure the design is clever, practical, robust, and scalable
* CAD, modelling concepts, iterating prototypes, and working with the wider team to produce detailed drawings for manufacture and assembly
* Demonstrating the performance of your designs with experimental rigour
* Designing with manufacture and assembly in mind, whether reworking an existing concept or creating something brand new


Benefits

* 10% employer pension contribution (+3% personal contribution)
* Private Medical Insurance & Life Insurance (Family Cover)
* Life insurance
* 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
* Discounts and memberships to local sports facilities and theatres


Why join LEX Diagnostics?

* Be part of a mission driven company making a global impact
* Work with a multidisciplinary team of experts who value creativity, collaboration, and evidence-based engineering
* See your CAD designs and prototypes move quickly from concept to production, iterate fast, and see results in real devices
* Join a growing company where your input can shape both our products and our future


Seniority level

* Associate


Employment type

* Full-time


Job function

* Industries IT Services and IT Consulting

If you love spending time in CAD and experimenting in the lab, turning ideas into manufacturable designs, and applying first-principles thinking to multidisciplinary challenges, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and help us design the future of diagnostics.
