Shape the Face of Cancer Treatment at Luminate Medical

At Luminate, we build products that help cancer patients to live, not just survive. Our mission is to build technologies that help oncologists make cancer care better, faster, and safer for patients. Our first two products, Lily and Lilac, are revolutionary wearable devices designed to address hair loss and peripheral neuropathy respectively – two of the most common and difficult side effects of cancer treatment.

We’re looking for a Graduate Electronic Engineer to work on the development of electronic hardware across our portfolio of products. You will work on the design and testing of our PCBs and electronic subassemblies, selecting components and testing key product features, and supporting our team to achieve IEC 60601 compliance. This exciting role will expose you to a mix of design, testing, manufacturing and compliance work, from the earliest stages of prototype development right through to design verification testing and product release to market.

Working at Luminate Medical

• This is a key early hire at a rapidly growing company. You will have an opportunity to shape the development of a high-impact patient-facing product and gain first-hand insights into the growth of a start-up.

• We offer a highly competitive salary comparable with multinational medical device companies (available on application), a flexible benefits package (including health insurance and pension), alongside a company laptop, headphones and camera.

• We believe in quality of life in our products and for our people, offering flexible working hours and a generous vacation policy.

What You Will Do:

• Work directly on the design of our electronics subassemblies to create meaningful products that change cancer care:

• Create specifications of technical requirements for electronics and firmware subsystems.

• Identify electronic hardware components suitable to meet the design requirements and liaise with suppliers to ensure component reliability.

• Design and prototype functional hardware circuits to enable prototyping and testing of our devices on the bench and in clinic.

• Work on the design of PCBs and broader electronic subassemblies for production. Collaborate with subcontract manufacturers to ensure design for manufacture considerations are taken into account. Collaborate with our mechanical design team to meet key design requirements.

• Design specific functional tests to prove product safety and efficacy, and learn important compliance standards for electromechanical medical devices:

• Work with our Quality team to identify potential design risks and mitigation strategies using tools like FMEAs and hazard analysis.

• Design product tests to ensure product stability in production and in the clinic.

• Complete testing of components and design inspection criteria for components to ensure device reliability.

• Preparing and reviewing test protocols for design verification and compliance testing (e.g. IEC 60601 series, IEC 62304).

• Problem solving test failures or product issues.

Personal Attributes – The Ideal Candidate Is:

• Creative: A creative problem solver who is enthusiastic about new ideas.

• Open: A proactive team player who seeks to help develop your teammates. You are willing to adopt, engage with and shape company culture in a positive manner. You can give and receive candid feedback in a constructive and positive manner.

• Communicative: Proficient in written and verbal communication and collaboration skills. You are able to share ideas and support exploration of other ideas.

• Self-Driven: You have a sense of urgency in your work and thrive when taking responsibility for tasks.

• Organised: You can prioritise your list of tasks with input from more senior colleagues and ensure actions are completed on time.

Requirements – The Ideal Candidate Must Have:

• Previously worked on at least 2 electronic design projects from definition of design requirements through to prototyping and testing. Can provide examples of design decisions related to component selection and design iteration based on testing outcomes.

• Grade 2:1 or above in degree programme in the field of Electronic Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Robotic Engineering or similar.

• Strong knowledge of analogue circuit design & test, including power electronics.

• Knowledge of digital circuit design, including programmable logic.

• Use of schematic capture & PCB layout tools.

• Previous experience prototyping with Arduino, Raspberry Pi or similar.

• Familiarity with C programming.

Advantages – It Would be Advantageous to Have:

• 1+ year(s) of professional electronic design experience, ideally in a medical device or similarly regulated environment.

• Familiarity with other programming languages.

• Previous exposure to projects working with medical devices.

• Any previous experience with compliance standards such as ISO 60601 and IEC 62304.
