Our Eastern CT client has a unique story. Fully funded, this startup has an acoustic medical device in trials already. Unfortunately, the mechanical engineer left the company for personal reasons. The company is seeking a replacement, someone who can start immediately and help the team in bringing this lifesaving product into commercial production, then continue with product development.
Located within easy commute from the Springfield, Worcester, Sturbridge, Palmer, Providence, Hartford, and Norwich areas, the company offers onsite parking and easy on and off the highway access. Great team, small company with a big heart; one of the best leadership teams we have met. The best part, you will be part of the team that will make a significant difference in saving the lives of many as well as improving the quality of life for many others.
