Work with proprietary silicone formulations, 3D modelling, and soft-electronic integration. Supported by Innovate UK grants and a University of Warwick research partnership.
Fast-growing with momentum and backing. Revenue-positive from day one, with career progression opportunities as we scale.
Plus: Access to a 350m² R&D facility, collaborative culture, team spanning medical simulation to SFX, and a Cambridge-area location in the heart of the UK biotech cluster.
Anthrotek is a fast-growing start-up specialising in high-fidelity silicone solutions. Our products include artificial skin, faces, organs and body parts, serving fields from medical simulation to robotics and the cinematic special effects industry. We blend advanced material science (silicone, soft materials) with artistic precision and the latest 3D modelling, AI and 3D printing technology.
We are currently seeking a talented and motivated multidisciplinary electronic/embedded software engineer to join our dynamic team on an 8-month fixed-term contract. The embedded/electronic engineer will lead the selection and integration of commercially-available force sensors in our silicone medical simulation products. These sensors will be essential for measuring the force applied by medical devices or surgeons during procedures, thus enhancing training experiences for medical professionals.
