Company Description
Mytos Bio Limited is a $19M YC-backed biotech automation company based in London’s Imperial College Innovation Hub. They develop advanced machines to fully automate human cell production, replacing manual processes for multibillion-dollar biotech firms to accelerate cures for diseases like Parkinson’s and cancer through high-precision engineering.
Job Description
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will own hardware subsystems end-to-end, from early concept through to production. Working in a multidisciplinary team of ex-Dyson engineers, you’ll solve complex challenges in fluidics, optics, and precision motion. This is a high-impact, on-site role at the intersection of hardware and life-saving biology.
Location
London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
- You’ll build machines that directly accelerate the development of life-saving cures, with cells grown on Mytos hardware heading into Parkinson’s clinical trials next year.
- Work at the Imperial College Innovation Hub within a world-class team of ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists backed by Y Combinator and $19M in funding.
- Experience true technical autonomy by owning complex electro-mechanical subsystems from initial concept through to manufacturing and field deployment for multibillion-dollar biotech clients.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
