But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research and help get cures to patients sooner.\nWe’ve developed machines to fully automate human cell production - the most manual process in Biotech. Cells are used to discover and develop new drugs, and now they're being used to cure diseases like Parkinson’s and age-related blindness. Mytos will impact cure development across the board.\nWe're live in multibillion dollar biotechs on both coasts of the US, and raised $19m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Next year, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson patient brains.\nWe’ve assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand. You can learn more about your potential Mytos teammates here: Team\nMytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as AirBnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.\nThis is an opportunity to work on projects at the interface of engineering and biology. When you join us, you’ll get to:\nMake our devices more indestructible - iterate and improve the robustness and reliability of our machines.\nLead development of systems that interface to areas you might not be familiar with, such as optics and fluidics.\nWork on all aspects of hardware design - from initial concept through to manufacture.\nRefine and build existing proof-of-concept features and collaborate on integrating new ones.\nRefine our test rigs, quality processes and data, and harness them to improve our sprint velocity and help us move faster.\nHelp shape our engineering culture and processes so that we keep continually improving. You’ll enjoy the autonomy, accountability and customer-focus that we bring to our work.\nWe’d love to hear from you if:\nYou’ve brought at least one complex product to market - ideally in the lab automation, medical devices or biotech space, but we’re open to other areas too.\nYou have a keen understanding of building reliability into hardware R&D processes.\nComplex systems containing hardware, electronics and software fascinate you. You cannot wait to work on a device that incorporates multiple electro-mechanical systems that move with high precision in tandem with one another.\nThe open-source hardware movement interests you, even though your industrial experience may not have touched on things like Adafruit, SparkFun, Arduino and Raspberry Pi. What you do enjoy are non-traditional approaches to prototyping and finding ways to get things working. You might even have learnt to code to get things talking to each other. \nManufacturing techniques including injection molding, sheet metal fabrication and CNC machining are part of your toolkit\nSalary and Benefits:\nCompetitive salary with stock options\nLunch covered daily\nCollaborative team environment with very high potential to learn new skills\n24 days holiday (excluding bank holidays)\nPension\nAwesome colleagues and an office in the Imperial College Innovation hub in White City, where you’ll be based.\nBecause of the HW device aspect of this role, we are unable to support remote-first working and potential colleagues must be happy to work from our lab.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3356,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Regenerative Medicine","CRO & CDMO Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T14:14:31Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-27T06:21:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.191,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":468,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mytos-senior-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mytos-senior-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T01:20:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1681,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679148},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679148"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmytos-senior-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmytos-senior-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmytos-senior-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mytos-senior-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmytos-senior-mechanical-engineer"}]}
