2027 Graduate Software Engineer - Healthcare (2027 start)

Introduction

We are looking for bright graduates with a passion for software and a curiosity for how things work and how technology can help us solve problems.  

You will join our embedded software team and contribute to the development of innovative technologies for healthcare devices.

Candidates can start between May–October 2027.

There is no deadline for this role, as we recruit on a rolling basis. Once the position is filled, we will close the advert. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

What we do

Each project we undertake is different, and at the cutting edge of technology. This means we can't talk about much of our ongoing work, but here are some examples of completed projects that we are excited to share:

• An emergency-use ventilator, developed in just over six weeks in response to the government’s Ventilator Challenge  

• A neurostimulation device allowing treatment to improve, or even restore, someone’s ability to walk  

• An autoinjector capable of delivering a wide range of drugs, while being intuitive to use and beautiful to look at  

What you'll be doing

From day one, you’ll be part of our multidisciplinary medical development team, tackling real technical problems while receiving guidance and training from experienced engineers. You’ll gain access to designing and developing embedded software to a high standard. You will be part of a team developing technologies that can make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.

Within your role you'll likely: 

• Design, develop, and test embedded software for complex medical systems used in diagnostic, surgical, implantable device, and drug-delivery applications.
• Contribute to a wide range of projects that span the full software development lifecycle.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary and supportive team, gaining exposure to systems involving electronics, optics, fluidics, robotics, and user-interface components.
• Work with industry best practices such as continuous integration, automated testing and analysis, and model-based systems engineering.

What You Can Bring

Application requirements

To apply for this role you must:

• Be currently completing or have recent completed a degree in a relevant field such as Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics.
