Meet Eimear Campbell, Senior Quality Engineer

When I moved to Eindhoven from Ireland, I wanted it to be a complete switch up from my life at home. I wanted to experience a new culture and new people. A new work opportunity and to have a completely clean slate.” - Eimear Campbell, Senior Quality Engineer.

Sometimes a job is more than a job. Sometimes it’s a life-changer.

Eimear Campbell earned her biotechnology degree at Dublin City University, a degree that opened many doors, internships and an early career as a scientist in combination device development. Although biotechnology was interesting and broad in scope, she soon realized it was not the right fit. “In college the lab work was very monotonous and I am quite clumsy. The two together did not work,” Eimear says.

Her turning point came when she landed a role as a Device Analyst in Dublin. “When I experienced the design operations and administrative side of things, I preferred it a lot more, because every day was completely different. Very fast-paced.”

And that’s how she got into medical devices… and a major conundrum.

Eimear and her boyfriend had been wanting to move to the Netherlands for quite some time and her significant other secured a job here in the semiconductor sector. Then, the Salvia Senior Quality Engineer position opened up and it piqued her curiosity. “One, it was going to be a new challenge as I did not work in Quality previously. And two, it was truly medical device as opposed to drug-device delivery,” she says. “I was confident that I was going to grow because I think you can often plateau and get comfortable in something that you know.”

Still working remotely for her Ireland-based employer, she interviewed with Salvia, and it was clear...Salvia and High Tech Campus Eindhoven fit the bill.

“It's the first interview I've had where you meet your team before you get selected. So, I got a real feel for the people and how motivated they are, and I loved the campus,” Eimear says.

The clincher was the focus at Salvia: one therapy to treat migraine attacks rather than an extensively diverse portfolio of combination products at her previous employer.

There aren’t a whole lot of Eimears - someone equally curious about science, women’s health, and nutrition. “Nutrition, science and fitness – those are my passions, and I always knew I wanted to work in something that helped people and bettered people's lives,” she says. “When I fell into medical devices, I was like, ‘Okay, this is still in the field of helping.’ It’s fulfilling to know that what you're doing is going to better someone's life.”

Outside of work, Eimear describes herself as “very ritual, the same routine every single day. But when it comes to work, that’s where I like it to be a bit different, because it breaks up the monotony of my routine life.”

Page Title (H1)

Header (H2)

A subheading or chapter heading (H3)

Introductory text or a first paragraph of information on this subject. Write as naturally as possible and be nice and specific. If necessary, use AI software to help you get started, but definitely don't use it one-on-one. Search engines can penalize AI content.

Subheading (H4)

Here too there is more than enough room for a good story, an interesting article or background information. If necessary, use a summary:

  • a summary is clear
  • one can see the benefits or features at a glance
  • also use search terms if necessary

Another topic (H3)

Another subheading (H4)

Do not use a Title Header (H1), but use an H2 Header instead. An H1 is actually a title of the page and may only appear once on a web page. The H2 is a kind of chapter and the other headers (H3 to H6) are subheadings and subheadings within the chapter. The order is important for the readability of visitors and search engines.

  1. a summary is clear
  2. one can see the benefits or features at a glance
  3. also use search terms if necessary

This way everything remains easy to read and understandable for the reader. People can also scroll directly to the topic they are interested in.

Paragraph heading style (H5)

This is another example of a heading. The headings H5 and H6 are usually used as paragraph headings, each with their own style.

Paragraph heading style (H6)

In the editor you can really see a difference in font size of all headers, but on the live website they have their own style.

Other options

Use a "quote". That looks like this:

This is a quote!

You can also put texts in bold, italic, etc.
Of maak een link naar een andere pagina of website.
And finally, you can also create Superscript(1) and Subscript(2) text.
