R&D Scientist II

Are you ready to take ownership of complex development programmes in a fast-growing diagnostics CDMO?

FlexMedical Solutions is expanding its technical capability and is seeking an R&D Scientist II to play a key role in the design, development and transfer of innovative IVD products into manufacturing.

In this role you will bring strong technical expertise, structured experimental design capability and experience working within design control, enabling you to contribute at a higher level across customer and internal programmes. You will operate as a scientific lead on defined work packages, working directly with clients and cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
