Hiring trends we’re seeing for 2025

• EU MDR & UKCA fuel QA/RA demand. Quality‑system and post‑market surveillance specialists command 20 % salary premiums.

• AI moves from pilot to production. Imaging, digital pathology and chat‑triage products need ML engineers comfortable with IEC 62304 & ISO 14971.

• Point‑of‑care diagnostics surge. Microfluidics and LFA roles doubled year‑on‑year as hospitals decentralise testing.

• Sustainable design becomes mandatory. Employers look for LCA experience and circular‑material choices in packaging & devices.

• Hybrid beats fully remote. Three lab or site days is typical, but digital‑health software roles remain remote‑first.
