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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
