New Job Opening: Bioelectronics Engineer in Cambridge, UK

Job Description

Bioelectronics Engineer / Bioelectronics Lead

Location: Cambridge area

Salary: £45,000 to £65,000 depending on experience

Employment Type: Permanent

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Bioelectronics Engineer to join a fast-growing, venture-backed technology company operating at the intersection of bioelectronics, data, and advanced manufacturing. The company is a recognised pioneer in the application of bioelectronics within cultivated meat, with strong proprietary IP and a clear technical roadmap.

This role is ideally suited to an electronics-led bioelectronics engineer with strong hands-on experience, particularly in impedance-based sensing. The existing team already has deep expertise in mammalian cell culture and bioprocessing, and training can be provided in these areas where required.

The Role

You will play a key role in the design, development, and application of bioelectronic sensing technologies used to monitor cellular systems. The position is initially an individual contributor role, with clear scope to progress into technical leadership as the team grows. For the right candidate, the title Bioelectronics Lead can be offered.

You will work closely with engineers, scientists, and data specialists to help develop and evolve the company’s core bioelectronics platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Designing, developing, and validating bioelectronic sensors for cellular monitoring


• Hands-on use of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)


• Analysing impedance data, including equivalent circuit modelling


• Supporting sensor development and platform optimisation


• Planning, executing, and presenting experimental results


• Collaborating across engineering, biology, and data teams


• Taking increasing technical ownership with future leadership potential

Essential Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with EIS for cellular monitoring


• Proven capability in impedance data analysis and equivalent circuit modelling


• Electronics-led background within bioelectronics


• Practical experience in circuit design, PCB development, and prototyping


• Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Bioengineering, or similar


• PhD or a minimum of 3 years’ relevant post-graduate industry or research experience


• Direct mammalian cell culture experience is not essential and can be trained.

Desirable Experience

• Development of impedance-based sensors


• Advanced data analysis or AI applied to sensor or biological data


• Integration of sensors into bioreactor or experimental systems


• Prototyping or fabrication experience (CAD, 3D printing, lithography, etc.)


• Equipment sourcing and technical procurement

What’s on Offer

• Salary of £45,000 to £65,000


• Equity or stock options


• Private health insurance


• Clear long-term progression within a growing technical organisation


• Opportunity to work on genuinely novel, IP-led technology


• Collaborative, multidisciplinary working environment

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage but well-funded organisation where bioelectronics is central to the product and IP strategy. You will have real technical ownership, influence over platform development, and the opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role over time.
