Company Description
Cellular Origins
Cell therapies have been shown to cure devastating diseases like cancer by reprogramming a patient’s own immune system, offering hope where there was none before. Giving more patients access to these life-saving therapies requires a revolution in manufacturing and process automation.
Cellular Origins is leading this revolution. Our proprietary technology tackles the challenges of large-scale production with an elegant robotic automation system that cuts costs, reduces labour, eliminates human error, and boosts efficiency.
Job Description
This is a great opportunity to join our team and play a key role in shaping the future of the Cellular Origins’ Constellation system.
As a Test and Development Engineer, you’ll sit at the heart of product delivery, working closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists to bring our vision to life through development, integration, and rigorous testing. You’ll help to ensure our robots and automated systems meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and compliance.
Working together with design teams, you will initially be focused on development and integration of our system elements, creating test strategies, plans and protocols, running procedures, and evaluating performance to ensure functionality, performance and reliable operation. Your experience working with mechatronics systems will help you to diagnose faults, provide feedback to the design team and recommend solutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In the longer term, you will transition to more formal verification of our system elements, generating protocols, managing changes, maintaining traceability, overseeing verification activities and writing reports. Your attention to detail and strong documentation will make you key to successful system verification and release.
This is somewhere to really make your mark, working in a technically challenging and impact-driven venture, with bright and committed peers, to define the future of cell therapy manufacturing.
Qualifications
Essential
- A strong engineering background gained either by degree or vocational route.
- Proven experience of testing and other means of verification, and troubleshooting complex mechatronics systems, preferably within a product development environment.
