Cure Talent is delighted to be supporting an innovative UK based life sciences and medical technology company developing next generation diagnostic technology. As the business continues to scale its automated diagnostic platform, they are now looking to appoint a Electro Mechanical Engineer to support the development of active electro mechanical systems within a state of the art laboratory environment in Bristol.


This is a hands on role within a growing organisation, offering broad exposure across design, prototyping and system level integration. You will play a key role in developing and refining systems for a complex automated biochemical processing platform, while maintaining the agility required in a fast paced, regulated environment.


Key responsibilities:


  • Develop electro mechanical actuation and control methods to support an automated biochemical processing platform, contributing to the transition from research prototypes to integrated systems and devices
  • Design and develop electro mechanical components and assemblies including enclosures, internal frames, cartridge interfaces and precision mechanisms, applying design for manufacture and assembly principles
  • Support hands on prototyping activities including build, modification and iterative refinement of designs
  • Collaborate closely with engineering and scientific colleagues to ensure robust system level integration
  • Support the development and maintenance of design documentation in line with design control requirements, participating in design reviews, risk management activities, and verification and validation testing
  • Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineering staff on design and manufacture


We’re looking for an Electro Mechanical Engineer with:


  • An MEng or equivalent Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • A minimum of three years industry experience in design for complex electromechanical systems
  • Strong hands on experience with prototyping and manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, machining and sheet metal fabrication
  • Proficiency with Fusion360 or SolidWorks, with the ability to produce detailed engineering drawings
  • Strong problem solving and systems thinking skills, with the ability to independently plan and deliver complex engineering work


If you’re a hands on Electro Mechanical Engineer looking for a role with genuine ownership and impact in a growing MedTech business, we’d love to hear from you.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.

The Skills Gap in Edge Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Edge computing is rapidly moving from niche concept to critical infrastructure. As organisations deploy connected devices, sensors, autonomous systems and real-time analytics, processing data closer to where it is generated has become essential. From smart cities and manufacturing to healthcare, transport, defence and telecommunications, edge computing underpins systems where latency, reliability and resilience matter. Demand for edge computing skills across the UK is rising steadily — yet employers consistently report difficulty finding candidates who are genuinely job-ready. Despite growing interest and academic coverage, universities are not fully preparing graduates for real edge computing jobs. This article explores the edge computing skills gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in edge computing.
