About the Role
Insight Surgery help surgeons plan the most complex surgeries, designing and manufacturing cutting edge patient-specific medical devices including anatomical models, surgical cutting guides and complex custom implants partnering with a number of large institutions across the USA and with the NHS in the UK. This is achieved by delivering a unique Point of Care service model.
We are looking for a passionate Biomedical Engineer to join our growing team and help design patient-specific medical devices and surgical solutions. In this role, you will transform medical imaging data into custom surgical cutting and drilling guides, using planning tools that directly support surgeons and improve patient outcomes.
You will work closely with surgeons, engineers and manufacturing teams to take patient-specific solutions from concept to delivery. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex anatomical challenges, working with cutting-edge 3D technologies and making a real impact in the operating room.
The successful candidate can expect a challenging and rewarding role, making a positive difference to patient outcomes in some of the USA's leading hospitals. Our innovative way of working directly at the point of care allows for a level of autonomy and responsibility, providing staff with a structured career development pathway.
