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.
