Want to be part of a team transforming healthcare?
We are looking for a talented Electronics Technician to join our team. Working within the Engineering team, you will support the Electronics Team and wider R&D team to deliver research and product development programmes. You will provide support across the range of the company’s existing and future products to support the company’s mission of transforming Radiology.
The Company
Medical imaging helps patients by enabling early and accurate diagnosis. However, 2D X-rays can be inconclusive as they give a fundamentally limited view of our 3D bodies. 3D images are possible with CT scanners but these are much more expensive, give a high dose of radiation and moving a critically ill patient to a scanner can be labour-intensive and risky.
At Adaptix we are helping make 3D imaging more accessible to the people who need it by producing mobile flat-panel X-ray systems that can be brought to patients giving low-cost, low-dose imaging.
Candidate Profile
Candidate Profile
As our ideal candidate, you have a minimum qualification at Level 3 (e.g. A Level, T Level or NVQ) in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience. You have IC 610 and IPC 620, or equivalent experience.
Key Responsibilities
Main duties and responsibilities:
- Prototype electronic assemblies and devices in accordance with suitable guidance and/or documentation from engineers
- Assemble and connect system components (e.g. cables)
- Build prototype models based on technical guidelines
- Rework circuit boards
- Repair malfunctions in circuitry and other system structures
- Read and comprehend technical manuals and diagrams
- Support colleagues across the R&D team with technical tasks and testing requirements
- Use various tools to build and repair systems
- Use electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes and multi-meters to verify results
- Maintaining a tidy and organised electronics workspace
- Attending and supporting tests performed at external test houses, such as EMC and electrical safety testing
- Various other tasks that may reasonably be expected of a Technician

About Adaptix
Adaptix is transforming radiology by bringing to market an addressable Flat Panel X-ray Source (FPS) with integrated power supply and controls. Adaptix is a developer of addressable distributed arrays for X-ray generation.
Our patent-protected technology enables fast movement-free 3D imaging at a significantly lower dose than CT. The FPS is designed to allow 3D image formation by means of tomosynthesis using existing generations of Detectors and Workstations, allowing a system price point similar to that of current 2D systems.
Our vision is that our technology will enable 3D X-ray imaging to be cheaper, more widely available and truly portable throughout the world’s clinics and hospitals.
