Injection Moulded Plastics-Accuracy and Affordable

Injection Moulded Plastics-Accurate and Affordable Products

Moulding your future is probably what some professions have slightly more control of than others. For instance of most science jobs, tooling and plastic injection moulding has certainly got a lot of opportunities to offer.

Within the medical devices manufacturing sector alone which has an immense product base, plastic moulded parts constitute a major proportion of the manufacturing process with everything from Contact Lenses to Kidney Dialysis Control Casings to, Catheters and complete electronic control assemblies.

Needless to say Moulding Engineers, Polymer Engineers, Process Technicians and Supervisors, Product Development Engineers, Tool Makers and Tool Designers play a vital role in bringing these products from concept and design to reality. Additionally they are fundamental in making sure a product is viable to bring to market and offers the customer or end user what they require. 

A functional, robust, safe and durable product that will be cheap enough to manufacture as a function of its simplicity of design and its material flow characteristics which ensure that maximum yield and through put is achieved meeting the needs again of the customer that seeks to sell these products into the growing global medical devices and healthcare markets.

Science Jobs are Engineering the Future

Science Jobs in Engineering

Science Jobs are engineering the future in Ireland today as the demand for R&D Engineers, Polymer Engineers, QA/RA Engineers and openings for senior professionals such as, Head of Research & Development,  Regulatory Affairs Specialists and Scientists continues to increase despite the economic downturn.

In particuar Research and Development investment from inward and outward sources has trebled in the past 10 years and is now at €2.6 billion or almost 1.7% of GNP. Intelectual property rights within the pharmaceutical, medical devices, software and ICT  manufacturing industries are now being given serious consideration as a major and strategic contributor to Ireland’s economy which as a revenue generator has a far greater long term financial generational potential than energy resource such as offshore oil and gas which todate have proved so far to be both costly and disappointing.

With the advent of the internet, Ireland has found its engineers and scientists research and design skills are now open for trade with the world and unlike natural resources are only limited by the numbers we educate and train in our universities and colleges.

To this end, Ireland has already begun a move away from depending on the goodwill or self interest of overseas multinationals and is now making provision for the future itself by strategically identifying those industries and markets worldwide that our native human resource skills can be applied to and to gain our financial share of  a global market that numbers in the Trillions of Euros.

As previously mentioned Ireland is already at an advanced stage of exploiting opportunities within the global nano technology markets that combine hybrid technolgies such as biopharma -nanobots, programable drugs and micro medical devices.

Instead of being discouraged by the limitations of what resources we have had in the past, Ireland is now positively assessing what we do have and the futher potential we have by shaping the world around us to our advantage to engineer the future.

After all  the description of Ireland in the past as that as the Island of Saints and Scholars is not far from what we would wish overseas investors seeing Ireland anew as, the Isle of R&D.

R&D continues to witness increasing growth despite the downturn

Research and Development in Biotechnology

R&D continues to witness increasing growth despite the  downturn taking place in Ireland as new announcements have continued to be made by multinational companies involved in areas such as Medical Devices, Biopharma and Pharmaceutical manufacturing.

R&D or Research and Development has resulted in greater career prospects at home for Irelands science and technical professionals who continue to gain international respect for their work in fields as diverse as polymer technology, advanced medical products, telecommunications software and hardware.

As a result there has been a major increase in demand for R&D managers, R&D Engineers and Research associates carrying out front line research which has had the spin off effect of an increase in demand for Quality Assurance Managers and Engineers in addition to Regulatory Affairs professionals who form part of the collective support structure required for this ever increasing technical environment.

Recruitment is brisk and demand for science professionals for all these sectors is steadily increasing at a pace that seems to defy the current economic trend. Long may it continue
