Manufacturing Technician (6 month fixed term contract)

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented individual for a Manufacturing Technician role. In this position, you will be instrumental in assembling complex components and ensuring the functionality and quality of our electro-mechanical systems. As we transition our initial devices from R&D through validation to large-scale manufacturing, you will be joining a dynamic and growing team that is pivotal to our success and future growth.

About You

You are interested in starting, or progressing your career in medical device manufacturing, have an eye for detail and work well with intricate assemblies. You are keen to get hands on with component manufacture, assembly, preparation of chemical formulations or perhaps you have experience in another industry where you think you can apply yourself to these.

With manufacturing processes involving rapid prototyping methods, thermoformed, 3D printed and injection moulded plastic parts, assembled using the latest laser, heat, and ultrasonic welding process, there’s a chance to get involved with some exciting tech.

Don't worry if you have never used this kit, we will train you!

We love inquisitive and collaborative people; we empower our teams to get the job done.
