Our client is a global leader in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry, with a long-standing reputation for developing innovative solutions that improve patient lives. Their state-of-the-art facility in Dublin is a centre of excellence for the development and manufacturing of complex drug delivery systems. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team dedicated to meaningful innovation in a highly collaborative environment.

We are seeking a skilled and proactive Mechanical Engineer for a contract role within a high-performing Device Engineering team. This position is central to the development of a new, complex medical device, offering the chance to work on a project from concept through to validation.

• 
  
• Take ownership of engineering activities for New Product Development and Sustaining projects.
  
• Design and develop electro‑mechanical components, assemblies, and plastic single‑use parts.
  
• Lead the creation and execution of test plans and protocols; analyse data and draft detailed test reports.
  
• Conduct thorough root cause analysis to solve complex engineering problems.
  
• Build, test, and evaluate prototypes, iterating on designs for optimal performance.
  
• Actively participate in and lead technical design reviews.
  
• Ensure all work complies with design control and risk management standards in a regulated environment.
  

The ideal candidate will be a hands‑on problem‑solver, eager to contribute to a complex development project. While experience in a regulated environment is a plus, a strong fundamental engineering skill set and a collaborative spirit are most important.

• 
  
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  
• 3+ years of post‑graduate experience in a mechanical engineering role.
  
• Proven proficiency in 3D CAD; SolidWorks is essential.
