MLE Creative recruits technical specialists to its medical and healthcare team

Company growth fuels need for additional team members

Following continuing company growth within the medical device sector, MLE Creative Electronics, innovators in medical electronics design, has recruited two technical specialists to further enhance customer support within the medical market. Joining MLE’s medical and healthcare team, Rod Lane heads up the Engineering unit as Technical Development Manager, whilst Jeff Pickering joins as Technical Sales Engineer.

Rod Lane’s new role involves programme managing the diverse range of development projects that MLE undertakes, ensuring that clients’ requirements are accurately captured and their expectations are met or exceeded. Previously Head of New Product Development for Odstock Medical Ltd, Rod Lane comments, “What I bring is a sound understanding of product development for the medical market, with excellent knowledge of the standards and regulatory requirements that have to be met for CE mark and FDA approvals.”

Jeff Pickering is an engineer with many years of experience, having held the position as Chief Design Engineer within the Navigation Systems Group of Marconi Radar. More recently, Jeff was the Education Manager at the Institute of Health Engineering and Estate Management. Working closely with Rod Lane, Jeff provides a key contact liaising with both new and existing customers to ensure smooth lines of communication.

“Following our on-going success in the co-development of innovative medical devices with a number of partner companies, we are very pleased to welcome Rod and Jeff to our growing medical and healthcare team,” adds Nigel Harley, Director of Strategic Development at MLE. “Both are excellent additions, further enriching MLE’s proven expertise in medical electronic product design and development that would require typically FDA 510k approval, ISO13485 and also the UK/European medical device directive.”
