Overview At LEX Diagnostics, we're rethinking how the world tackles infectious disease. Our technology is enabling faster, more accurate testing, right where it's needed most. Every design decision here has the potential to directly improve patient care around the world. What’s the opportunity? We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems and turning ideas into manufacturable solutions. You’ll spend as much of your time in CAD as in the lab, conceptualising, modelling, testing and refining designs that need to perform flawlessly when they leave the lab and become real, working products. But this isn’t just pushing geometry around in a model. You’ll be working at the intersection of mechanical, thermal, fluidic, optical, and electrical disciplines, creating designs that bring all of these together into a robust, reliable product. Why this role matters Our diagnostics are used in settings where every second counts. The design solutions you spearhead, and the engineering principles you apply, directly determine how reliably our devices work in the real world. From the first sketch to the final assembly, your designs will be pivotal to getting life-saving tools into the hands of clinicians. Responsibilities / What you’ll be doing

Formulating design and product requirements to meet genuine technical needs Supporting design choices with first-principles analysis, so that every feature is grounded in engineering reasoning Working across disciplines to ensure the design is not only clever, but also practical, robust, and scalable CAD, modelling concepts, iterating prototypes, and working with the wider team to produce detailed drawings for manufacture and assembly Demonstrating the performance of your designs with experimental rigour Designing with manufacture and assembly in mind, whether reworking an existing concept or creating something brand new

Benefits
