Principal Electrical Engineer

We are currently working with a Medical Device Company that are looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer.

You might be hungering for the chance to lead projects from concept through to manufacturing (not having somebody else take over certain parts), you might want more visibility at a senior level (first stage interview is with the CTO or maybe you are tired of doing minor modifications to the same device (this company works on a range of products and does work from concept) - this role offers all of the above.

Add to that the stability of a big company but the mindset of a start-up and they really have a lot to offer before we even discuss the excellent salary and benefits.

Sound interesting? Happy to schedule a call to talk you through it all.
