Engineering Technician 2
About Wellumio

Wellumio is a venture-backed medical device company on a mission to create universal access to diagnostic imaging.

​

Magnetic Resonance is the gold standard in medical imaging due to its exceptional soft-tissue contrast. However, its accessibility is limited by high costs and the need to transport patients to scanners. At Wellumio, we are driven by a simple yet transformative idea: instead of bringing patients to the scanner, we bring the scanner to the patients, wherever they are.

​

By providing point-of-care imaging, Wellumio enables healthcare professionals to deliver earlier diagnoses, faster treatments, and better outcomes. Our second-generation scanner, Axana, is significantly lighter than conventional systems, enabling true portability in brain and neuroimaging applications.

​

The company’s first target application is acute stroke, a leading cause of mortality and disability. Today, only a small percentage of patients receive treatment within the critical time window due to reliance on hospital-based imaging. Wellumio’s approach aims to change this by making imaging accessible at the point of care

 

Why should you be part of Wellumio's success story?

 

  •  To work with a talented and passionate team dedicated to positively impacting the medical device industry.

  •  To grow your skills and knowledge through ongoing training and development opportunities.

  • To work in a dynamic environment that rewards creativity, innovation, hard work, and continuous improvement.

Working in partnership with relevant departments, you will:

​

Production Build Support

  • Perform device assembly and production builds following documented work instructions with consistent quality

  • Complete build records, production travellers, and inspection checklists accurately for every unit

  • Contribute to production throughput targets as device build volumes increase toward pivotal trial requirements

 

Test & Measurement

  • Execute defined test procedures on device assemblies and sub-assemblies, recording results accurately

  • Operate test equipment: oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, and dedicated test fixtures

  • Identify and escalate out-of-specification results promptly to the supervising engineer

 

Lab & Production Area Support

  • Maintain lab and production area organisation: ESD control, tooling management, and cleanliness

  • Support component incoming inspection alongside the Production Technician

  • Manage consumable stock in the production area, flagging replenishment needs

​

Quality Records & Compliance

  • Complete quality records and build documentation consistently and legibly per QMS requirements

  • Raise non-conformance reports when components or assemblies do not meet specified criteria

  • Support audit activities by ensuring records are current, complete, and retrievable

 

Cross-Functional Support

  • Assist R&D engineers with prototype builds, lab experiments, and test setups as required

  • Support logistics activities: packaging, receiving, and shipment preparation

  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in lab and production operations

What Success Looks Like

  • Production build capacity supports pivotal trial unit requirements on schedule

  • Build records are accurate, complete, and consistently maintained across all units

  • Test execution is independent and reliable for all defined test procedures

  • Non-conformances are identified and escalated promptly — no quality escapes attributable to technician execution
