Quality Jobs!
Hi everyone! I thought I would take advantage of MyScienceJobs this weeks to give you an update on the Engineering end of the Medical Device jobs.
Unfortunately the Kitting Director position has been put on hold due to restructuring, but nevertheless the
role is still open amongst others!
If you have a background in Software Validation or QA Software or something similar in a high volume manufacturing plant/ indeed Medical Device then we want to hear from you!
Get in touch!
New Jobs in!
Contrary to news reports of certain medical device companies offering voluntary redundancies due to restructuring to keep the company afloat, there are other medical device companies in the country that are in fact taking people on! Validation or Engineering anyone?
The following are the openings within Med Device at the moment:
So whether you are working at the moment or being offered redundancy and want a fresh look at the med device market at the moment, contact us here for a full job description or to register your interest in future medical device jobs!

Nanodevice Medical Devices Make Big News in Ireland. As previously mentioned on this blog, Medical devices continue to be a major center of growth and activity both in R&D and job creation for the Irish economy. But allied to this power house another developing science is begining to make itself felt. Nanoscience is rapidly converging and combining with the BioPharma and Medical device sectors which were once seen as distinct and completely sepperate branches of science and are now adding incredible synergies. Medical devices and biopharma products are now being enhanced and expanded far beyond their existing or previously envisioned applications into new and advanced medical or clinical applications. They have also opened up completly new research vistas undreamt of less than five years ago.
Nanoscience adds a different dimension or perhaps microdimension to products such as medical devices that allows them to operate at the subatomic level. For instance, as we see with most medical devices at present they operate as simple tools treating the symptoms of ailments whereas we are already witnessing the application of nanoscience to medical devices that will very soon actually allow them to actively cure an illness.
Specifically we can envisage the usage of nano robots that can heal tears in arteries unreachable by contemporary surgery techniques. Additionally early research is already being undertaken with the development of gold plated nano drugs capable of functioning as effectively as a smart bio weapon, guided precisely and unerringly to the point of infection such as cancerous tumours doing away with debilitating chemo or radiation therapy.
Added together, medical devices, ICT and Biopharma employ over 130,000 people emphasising their importance to the nation as a significant economic driver. Given the global market for nanoscience products is over €3 Trillion Dollars, or to localise this figure, last year Ireland exported over €150 Billion in goods and services, of this 10% were nanoscience enabled or related products or €15 Billion. By 2015 this figure could be as much as €30 Billion.
Small wonder then that as this sector continues to grow in importance, it will continue to be a beacon of hope in a time of unprecedented economic gloom.
A Mechanical Commissioning Engineer ensures his harness in safely in place.
Good morning and welcome to My science jobs with news that we have a green light for green jobs.
Recently at the IRCSET (Irish Research Council for Science Engineering and Technology) symposium, the Irish government with the backing of Major Multinationals such as Intel and Microsoft and supported by sustainable Energy Ireland, have made a commitment to drive greater resources into the Smart economy.
In paticular this will be in the areas of Green IT and Green Tech jobs.
This commitment will include:-
Ensuring the supply of highly skilled talent and the supply of high achieving graduates up to Phd level.
Investing heavily in research and development and enhancing the environment between Academic and market facing commercial interests.
Implementation of a “Green Deal” and moving towards Green Renewable Energies and away from Fossil fuel energy programs.
Promoting Green Collar jobs and Green Enterprise.
Within the Green Collar Jobs sector there are a number of employment possibilities covering such aspects as energy production as well as conservation not simply related to areas such as wind turbine manufacture. Opportunities here exist for a wide variety of professional engineers such as:- Precision Tooling Engineers, Toolmakers, Mechanical, Electrical, Automation and Manufacturing Engineers.
R&D carried out in Ireland has also led to the development and manufacture of micro turbines that can produce electrical energy in even the smallest of wind environments and as a result have made them cheaper to manufacture and increasingly attractive to a wider range of customers both domestic as well as commercial. The implications for the marketing and sale of these devices and the possibility for increases in employment growth is therefore significant.
Here we can see opportunities for Moulding Engineers, Project Managers and Project Engineers in addition to Systems and Telecommunications Engineers
Additionally, in areas such as inteligent lighting systems that detect the level of ambient light and switch of lights when they are not needed. These specific inteligent public lighting systems are already in operation in Germany and are being looked at with keen interest by Intel who have been quick to see their application globally, these too are manufactured here in Ireland.
Again we have seen there has bene an increase in the demand for manufacturing, QA/QC, Mechanical and Tooling Engineers as well as Project Managers, Mechanical and Electrical Technicians, Equipment Engineers, Schedulers and Planners as demand is expected to increase.
Green Tech and Green Research & Development then offers considerable long term employment prospects for native Irish engineering talent. For further information on Green jobs in the green technology and Green R&D jobs, stay tuned or visit Jackie Brown Medical for further recruitment opportunities in a host of new technology sectors such as Medical Device jobs, Manufacturing jobs, Engineering jobs and science jobs.
Good Manufacturing Practice-Consistent Quality
Quality versus Quantity used to be a dilemma faced by manufacturers faced by the dual consideration of competition and the diminishing return on investment after cost ie profits.
More precisely, manufacturers of goods would consider how do you increase profits when you are facing increased competition and increasing numbers of competitors eating into your market share? Do you increase production and hope to swamp your competitors with lower cost items that you can charge less for and therefore increase your market share - or do you produce better high quality items which you can charge more for and thus get more for less and also retain and grow a loyal customer base who will trust your product over the oppositions cheaper and possibly less reliable product.
Myscience jobs considers the question as now largely rhetorical. Quality wins out every time.
Today Quality Control and Quality Assurance is a major consideration for all Irish high tech manufacturing from medical devices through to semiconductors and pharmaceutical products. Irish manufacturing is performed to World Class Manufacturing environment standards including BS, ISO, FDA, and GMP.
None of the billions of investment that have been spent would have been done so if these standards could not be guaranteed to be maintained and improved as they have been by Quality Managers, Engineers and technicians who police and maintain them, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in manufacturing plants, R&D facilities, Design consultancies and practices through out Ireland.
Needless to say, there remains today, a significant number of scientfic, engineering and manufacturing jobs open to Quality professionals encompassing all the above sectors despite the economic downturn, which will endure and expand in the years ahead as clients and customers continue to demand quality over quantity.
For quality jobs in medical device manufacture, R&D, Plastics, engineering and science, consider Jackie Brown Medical where quality counts in recruitment for Quality Jobs.
