Newton Colmore is partnered with a start-up medical devices company in London and we are helping them find a development engineer to join their research team.
As a Principal Engineer in this company, you will be working on a novel injectable drug delivery device and will help lead the design of this next-generation product into production.
Within this vital role for the company, you will be working with a multidisciplinary team and will play a pivotal role in the design and development process of this product.
This will include designing robust mechanical solutions to a product within ISO 13485 standards.
The role will be based at their HQ in London and can be hybrid for the right candidate, although a preference is for someone to be in the office as often as possible, due to their start-up nature.
It is a small team that you will be joining which is both versatile and tenacious in their pursuit of delivering a step-change to patients with their technology.
To succeed in this role, you will need strong fundamentals with mechanical engineering and have previous experience with drug delivery systems.
Ideally this would be coupled with experience of the full design cycle, working on something from an idea, all the way through to readying the product for manufacture.
In exchange for your skills and expertise, the company offer a tailored salary and includes shares/equity, income protection and pension.
This is a great opportunity to join a fledgling and well backed startup and help lead the design of a ground-breaking medical device.
We are looking to arrange interviews for this role as soon as possible so if the role is of interest make an application now.
One of our consultants will then be in touch with more details.
Newton Colmore is a specialist recruiter dedicated to helping our medical devices and biotech clients find the experts they need to develop new technologies.
