Join us at Element, where our mission is to empower medical device manufacturers to swiftly obtain the approvals necessary to enhance lives. Currently, the process takes 3 to 7 years, creating challenges for small businesses and startups. We aim to change that by providing a comprehensive platform supporting device manufacturers through compliance paths, testing, results processing, submission preparation, and staying current with evolving regulations.

After thorough market research, strategic planning, and MVP validation, we are ready to establish an exceptional in-house product development capability, and we want you to be a part of it!

Why Work with Us?

At Element, you'll be part of a cross-functional team at the heart of the action, enjoying autonomy and responsibility. Our stunning office, conveniently located near Covent Garden, fosters collaboration and creativity. We expect in-person collaboration Monday to Thursday, but trust you to work from home as needed. No worries about jumping from one Zoom call to another — our team's ensemble approach minimizes meetings and eliminates individual tasks.

Element is one of the fastest growing testing, inspection and certification businesses in the world. Globally we have more than 9,000 brilliant minds operating from 270 sites across 30 countries. Together we share an ambitious purpose to ‘Make tomorrow safer than today’.

When failure in use is not an option, we help customers make certain that their products, materials, processes and services are safe, compliant and fit for purpose. From early R&D, through complex regulatory approvals and into production, our global laboratory network of scientists, engineers, and technologists support customers to achieve assurance over product quality, sustainable outcomes, and market access.

While we are proud of our global reach, working at Element feels like being part of a smaller company. We empower you to take charge of your career, and reward excellence and integrity with growth and development.

Industries across the world depend on our care, attention to detail and the absolute accuracy of our work. The role we have to play in creating a safer world is much bigger than our organization.
