What You’ll Do

At Vexev, we’re building first‑of‑its‑kind vascular imaging technology that gives clinicians a clearer view inside the body without invasive devices or dye. We’re looking for a hands‑on Workshop Prototyping Technician to turn complex prototypes into reliable medical devices that will help millions.

This role is for someone who loves making things work properly. It involves building prototypes, assembling, troubleshooting, and helping decide whether a job should be made in‑house or outsourced. You’ll work in a fast‑moving environment where the work is varied, practical, and often ambiguous.

Responsibilities

- Build, assemble, modify, and troubleshoot prototypes, devices, jigs, fixtures, and test rigs with care, precision, and strong attention to detail.
- Support rapid prototyping using workshop tools, 3D‑printed parts, machined components, hand tools, and practical fabrication methods.
- Read and work from technical drawings, CAD outputs, assembly instructions, and build procedures.
- Work closely with engineers to triage prototype jobs, identify build issues, and provide practical feedback on build approach, usability, assembly, manufacturability, and reliability.
- Prepare hardware for testing, document outcomes clearly, and expand issues or repeat failures with useful context.
- Keep the workshop clean, safe, organised, stocked, and audit‑ready, including tools, equipment, inventory, build records, measurements, and test documentation.

Experience & Qualifications

- Hands‑on approaches in prototyping, fabrication, machining, mechanical assembly, hardware testing, workshop operations, or a similar practical build environment.
- Experience working in a prototype, R&D;, repair, custom‑build, or development environment where the work is varied and problems need to be solved practically.
- Familiarity with workshop tools, 3D‑printed parts, machined components, fixtures, jigs, small batch parts,



and general fabrication methods.
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, assembly drawings, CAD outputs, work instructions, and build procedures.
- Strong troubleshooting instincts, with a natural tendency to ask “why did this fail?” and look for ways to prevent repeat issues.
- A careful, process‑minded approach to quality, precision assembly, measurements, documentation, inspection, workspace organisation, and continuous improvement.
- The confidence to work closely with engineers, ask positive questions, flag problems early, and suggest practical improvements to builds, designs, and workflows.

Desired Backgrounds

Medical device experience is not required. We welcome backgrounds in machining, fabrication, prototype workshops, theatre or stage production, prop making, makerspaces, festival production, or similar hands‑on environments. What matters is strong workshop capability, care in the details, and curiosity to solve practical build problems to a high standard.

Work Culture & Benefits

We’re building the next generation of vascular imaging, helping healthcare move from reactive treatment to proactive care. You’ll work with robotics, ultrasound, machine learning, and clinical insights. Autonomy and ownership are key; you’ll be trusted with real responsibility and accountable for high‑impact work. The environment is flexible: no dress code, no pointless meetings, flexible start and finish times, and a Surry Hills HQ designed for deep work, collaboration, and team lunches on the rooftop.

We value directness, clarity, and honest feedback and bring that same approach to hiring. Every application is read by our team, never filtered by automation, and we aim for a quick, human, and transparent process. We celebrate the diversity of perspectives, expressions, and social and ethnic backgrounds and believe they are key to creating a great place to work, and building an imaging device that is truly accessible to all.
