Medical Devices Mechanical Engineer - SolidWorks - Cambridge
A growing Medical Devices group is currently seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to assist in the development of life-saving Medical Devices.
Based in South Cambridgeshire, you will utilize SolidWorks for the CAD design of new Medical Devices.
You will collaborate with inventors, physicists, engineers, and scientists to create these life-saving medical devices, and your CAD design skills will be crucial in the development of these innovative Medical Devices.
Ideally, your past or current experience would involve developing medical devices to ISO 13485 standards.
However, if your experience lies in CAD design for the life sciences, pharmaceuticals, scientific instrumentation, or wearable tech sectors, we would still like to hear from you.
This role will not be solely computer-based.
We require you to have a hands-on engineering element to your mechanical engineering skills, particularly for tasks such as jig assembly, testing, instrument usage, and other essential skills for prototyping and testing the new technologies you will develop.
Knowledge of manufacturing techniques will be valuable, as you will use this knowledge when designing to ensure that the products not only function but can also be manufactured.
While a relevant degree is expected, industry experience of at least a few years will be more crucial.
Thus, we welcome applications from individuals who have learned on the job, even without holding a degree.
This company offers an excellent starting salary, a pension plan, bonuses, share schemes, and other benefits typically associated with a blue-chip company.
Due to the expected high level of interest in this role, if you possess the required background, we recommend applying now to avoid missing out.
