Medical Devices Consultant – Senior Mechanical Engineer – Cambridge
Due to the growth of a leading Medical Devices organisation, we are currently seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer, Project Manager, Medical Devices Inventor, or Mechanical Design Consultant for a newly approved role. The company is based in Cambridge and boasts some of the most impressive labs globally, which they are currently enhancing even further.
You will collaborate with other experts in Medical Devices who have backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, Electronics Design, Electronics Engineering, Physical Engineering, Biomedical Sciences, and various other skills essential for inventing Medical Technology. Consequently, teamwork will be crucial.
In this role, you will lead projects, necessitating experience as a consultant, project manager, or another role involving interactions with third parties. Additionally, you will apply your skills hands-on, directly contributing to the development of new Medical Devices.
We require several years of experience in Mechanical Design of Medical Devices. Familiarity with any 3D CAD tool is acceptable, as we understand that you can be trained on the necessary tools when required. However, knowledge of SolidWorks would be advantageous.
Most individuals in similar roles hold a degree in a Mechanical Engineering field, but experience takes precedence.
In terms of experience, we welcome candidates ranging from those stepping up to a Senior Mechanical Engineer role to individuals with several years of experience as a Medical Devices Consultant or Senior Mechanical Engineer.
This organisation has an outstanding track record of fostering continuous learning to keep you at the forefront of the Medical Devices sector. Consequently, opportunities for career and skills development are always available.
In addition to these benefits, you will receive an excellent salary (commensurate with your level of experience), a substantial bonus, a generous pension plan, healthcare coverage, complimentary meals throughout the day, life assurance, access to social clubs, wellness programs, an onsite gym, and other exceptional perks that are not commonly offered by most companies.
We anticipate substantial interest in this role, so if you are interested, we recommend submitting your application promptly. The organisation is open to candidates with varying levels of experience. If you possess some of the required skills but not all, it may still be worth applying as training could be provided (though you must have industry experience as a Mechanical Engineer or Mechanical Designer for Medical Devices as a minimum).
For more information, please feel free to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices Recruitment and Scientific Recruitment Specialist at Newton Colmore, at +44 121 268 2240. Alternatively, you can submit an application, and a member of our team at Newton Colmore will contact you.
