Renishaw offers exciting opportunities for placement students on a year-long immersion programme designed to develop ambitious, talented, and self-motivated individuals into skilled experts in their chosen field.

What will I gain from this placement year?

Each placement will involve working on live projects under the guidance and expertise of experienced colleagues. As well as gaining hands on experience in your chosen field, you will have the opportunity to connect with people working in the business and discuss your career ambitions and ideas with employees in similar roles. 

What type of things will I be working on?

The Medical Devices industrial placement scheme within Renishaw Neuro Solutions will involve you being fully integrated into the team, where you will be mentored and supported by the technical staff and our senior managers. You will learn what a career in medical devices (specifically those intended for neurosurgical applications) really means and gain an excellent insight into wide range of activities involved in the development of medical devices, from concept to regulatory approval and ultimately, placement on the market.

You will be encouraged to participate in the relevant areas; product design/development, process improvement, quality, regulatory, change control and clinical aspects.

You will be treated as a full-time member of the function with the same responsibilities and growth opportunities. A successful placement provides an excellent opportunity for you to be considered for a graduate scheme position in the future.  

Where will I be working?

What do I need?

Applicants must be studying for a degree in any STEM subject and have elected undertake a sandwich placement year as part of their degree course.
