New Science Jobs planned for in Medical Devices and Biopharma
Investment in new science jobs are being planned in the areas of Biopharmaceuticals, Medical Device Manufacture, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and Semiconductor manufacturing.
The IDA announced yesterday that their strategic investment plan Horizon 2020 will involve the creation of over one hundred thousand new jobs in the next five years through a combination of nurturing indigenous employers and targeting FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) from the likes of Pfizer, Intel, Teleflex, KCI, Boston Scientific and HP.
FDI has created over 140, 000 jobs and supports indirectly 240,000 jobs in the economy which has led to expenditure of €19 Billion and payroll of close to €7 Billion.
But has been said before plans are great but action is better- lets hope the IDA plans come to fruition.

Medical Devices Marketing Directors Lead the Way
The Market for Marketing Directors and Managers for Science jobs has broadened and expanded to include almost all science sectors. Medical Device Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Biopharmaceuticals and laterly IC have begun to experience a resurgence of growth that is a positive indicator for the employment prospects of sales and marketing professionals. To date, all have witnessed considerable retrenchment in the technology sectors but no longer is this the case.
Medical Device and Pharmaceuticals manufacturing in Ireland as previously discussed has witnessed steady growth despite a global downturn that has affected most other sectors.
Medical Device Marketing Directors and Managers with expertise in marketing medical devices particularly disposable products are in great demand given the presence of such firms as Teleflex, Merit Medical, Boston Scientific and Medtronic who have seen huge growth in demand for their products.
Additionally, we have witnessed a considerable increase in key positions such as Pharmaceutical Sales and Marketing Manager, Chief Science Officer and Head of Research & Development to aid the development, sales and marketing of these new products for the local and foreign export markets.
New automated manufacturing technologies have also helped to reduce manufacturing costs for these goods and allied to applied R&D in these sectors there have been startling new product developments which have produced corresponding increased profits resulting in a far greater resilient industrial sector engaged in new science job creation centers which are of such vital importance to Ireland’s new smart economy.

A New Year and New Science Jobs are expected to increase. Last year American firms were the largest investors in
Intel- One of Ireland Inc's Largest R&D Investors
Ireland inc with nearly 2000 additional jobs created across a range of manufacturing and technical service sectors. The US has invested almost $150 Billion in Ireland in the past year with major investments from Intel, Boston Scientific, Teleflex, Pfizer, HP and Abbott to name a few. This investment is showing no immediate sign of diminishing.
Almost 100, 000 people are in full time emplopyment with US multinationals counting for almost 70% of IDA backed projects throughout Ireland with close to 600 firms covering Biopharma, medical devices, semiconductors, precision engineering, software, telecommunications, Pharmaceuticals, Project Management and Engineering firms providing high end design and technical skills that will be the basis for Irelands future smart economy.
2009 was with out doubt one of the hardest years Ireland has endured economically but we possess a wealth of technical and knowledge based skills that translate and compete internationally with the best and brightest from the US, Germany, Japan and Singapore.
R&D invetsment in Ireland both Nationally and internationally has also grown which indicates a level of confidence in the future that looks beyond the recession we have experienced to date. We are definately not out of the woods yet but we can see through the trees to the light beyond. Knowledge will light the way to a brighter future.

Medical Device Components
Research and Development (R&D) investment continues to increase by major multinational companies operating in Ireland today. In particular there have been several major investments announced within the Irish Medical Device manufacturing industry. Boston Scientific, Medtronic and Teleflex have indicated sizable investments in their research facilities based in Ireland that have positive long term implications for jobs already established here and for future investment that can only add to the technological career opportunities available for R&D, Quality, Materials, Product development and Tooling/ Moulding Engineers. These professionals; particular those with expertise in Processing, Polymers and advanced Plastics, will be required to support these projects and future advanced research projects which are at the heart of some of the most sophisticated medical devices manufactured anywhere in the world.
Needless to say, these are careers that are both well paid, and with considerable promotional prospects that are not confined to traditional Irish manufacturing industries but also offer possibilities far beyond these shores and in other allied industries such as BioPharmaceuticals and semiconductor to name a few. Irish Recruitment agencies have not been slow to recognize this and are now actively supporting it as a core industrial sector.

Medical Devices
Welcome again to myscience jobs. Today we will look at the Medical Devices manufacturing industry and the growth in Medical devices job opportunities.
What are medical devices and why has there been such growth? Medical devices consist of an extremely wide variety of products used with a medical purpose in patients applied to such aspects as diagnostics, therapy or surgical and the effect is generally physical.
They can be as simple as tongue depressors or as complex as minute plastic components such as filter components used in kidney dialysis or as intricate as x-ray machines. Growth then has followed swiftly as a direct result of rapid advances in science and scientific discoveries which have in turn led to new applications of advanced materials; for instance, plastics or exotic polymers which have in turn resulted in the manufacturability of minute vascular components which to manufacture less than a decade ago were undreamt of in term the size and quality that are now commonplace.
Further still we have seen the application of plastics in the manufacture of products expand to as diverse a range of products as gas permeable contact lenses, prosthetic limbs, monitoring devices, pacemakers and cheap disposable hypodermics which can now be manufactured in the millions. This has resulted in a massive reduction in cost, allowing access to clean, safe, healthcare / medical devices previously beyond the financial affordability of many people who suffer from long term illnesses requiring for instance the application of insuline, morphine or other life term medicines.
Small wonder then that Ireland has seen an explosion in the number of medical device manufacturing companies which have decided to capitalise on our local skill base and opted to set up in Ireland. These multinationals range from Boston Scientific, to Johnson and Johnson. The consequence of these companies opening here then is a corresponding increase in demand for skilled polymer/process engineers, materials and quality research specialists amongst others to service these state of the art manufacturing facilities that continue to thrive despite a global economic downturn.
Opportunities do exist for those who are qualified and experienced, and for those Irish agencies who are specialists in the fields of medical recruitment, recruiting for moulding technicians and process engineers amongst others, myscience jobs can proudly say that Jackie Brown Medical is well placed as a lead specialist life science recruitment firm in Irish Science Jobs for recruiting for the expanding medical device manufacuring market that continues to offer careers with the potential for professional growth.
