Project Engineer, LEX Diagnostics Limited, GB

Love solving complex technical problems and making things work better, faster and smarter?
Join us at LEX Diagnostics, where we’re developing ultra-rapid PCR diagnostics that are reshaping how healthcare providers diagnose and respond to infectious diseases. We're not just innovating in the lab,  we're building the processes, systems, and tools that will take our technology into mass production.

We’re looking for a Project Engineer to help drive that transition. We need you, a person that’s hands on, practical, collaborative, and ready to own key engineering projects within our manufacturing operation.

What the role’s all about:

You’ll play a central role in scaling up and optimising our cartridge manufacturing processes. From specifying equipment and improving workflows to supporting new product introductions and writing SOPs, this is a varied, challenging role where you’ll need both your engineering brain and your ability to make things happen.

You’ll work closely with scientists, technicians, and programme managers to ensure our production systems are robust, safe, and ready to meet the demands of commercial-scale diagnostics.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing engineering projects that support manufacturing growth and efficiency
• Identifying and implementing new facilities, equipment, and tooling
• Supporting tech transfers into both existing and new manufacturing environments
• Providing hands-on engineering support to troubleshoot and improve processes
• Contributing to consumable design and experimental cartridge production
• Writing and maintaining SOPs, risk assessments, and COSHH documentation
• Collaborating cross-functionally to ensure project delivery and resource alignment
• Capturing lessons learned and contributing to IP generation
• Delivering internal training and presentations across teams
• Applying Lean and Six Sigma methodologies where appropriate for continuous improvement
