  • Knowledge and experience of manufacturing processes and DfMA techniques.
  • Experience in the design of mechanical systems and products from concept through to manufacture.
  • Experience in medical device development (ISO13485) and risk management processes (ISO14971).
  • Understanding and demonstrable experience of working within multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Mentoring and management of junior team members.
  • Excellent presentation skills including written and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent client relationship management (ideally consultancy experience).
  • Experience in leading projects, taking responsibility for delivery quality outputs on time and on budget.
Salary

The salary for this role is in line with our Senior salary band, from £51,000 to £73,954. Please note we ask you to provide your expected salary within the band as part of your application, this helps us understand how you view your experience against the role’s scope.
