Senior Engineering Group Leader

Medical Diagnostics \| Leadership \+ NPI \+ LabVIEW

X4 Life Sciences are partnering with a leading medical diagnostics company to hire a Senior Engineering Group Leader to drive the development and scale-up of next-generation diagnostic instrumentation.

This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for someone who not only understands complex product development, but can also establish and navigate an operational manufacturing line to mass produce instrumentation successfully.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead multi-program engineering and product development activities

• Set up and support an operational production line for instrument mass manufacturing

• Drive fixture development and manufacturing readiness initiatives

• Lead engineering teams across development, transfer, and operational activities

• Oversee New Product Introduction (NPI) and product transfer into manufacturing

• Ensure consistent technology integration and architecture standards across programmes

• Conduct design reviews focused on safety, reliability, manufacturability, and cost

• Coordinate cross-functional engineering teams through all stages of development

• Support continuous improvement, serviceability, and scalability initiatives

Must-Have Experience:

• Strong hands-on LabVIEW experience (essential)

• Proven NPI experience and understanding of product transfer into operations/manufacturing

• Experience setting up operational/manufacturing lines for instrument production

• Strong understanding of fixture development and engineering operations

• Experience leading engineering teams in regulated environments

• Bachelor’s degree with 15\+ years’ experience OR Master’s degree with 10\+ years’ experience

This role is ideal for someone who can bridge the gap between R\&D and operations — taking innovative instruments from development through to scalable manufacturing.
