ResMed to create 70 new jobs, opens new €30m R&D centre in Dublin

San Diego-headquartered ResMed has cut the ribbon on a new €30 million research hub in Sandyford in Dublin while announcing plans to create 70 new jobs in Ireland over the next four years.

The digital health company, which manufactures medical products to combat sleep and respiratory disorders, plans to double its Ireland-based software and technology team to support innovation and technology development across the group.

The new “high-skilled, high-paying” roles include posts in mobile, AWS (Amazon Web Services), full-stack software developers and algorithm/machine learning engineers.

ResMed is a world leader in developing devices, masks and accessories for the treatment of sleep apnoea, a chronic disease that affects an estimated 936 million people worldwide, including nearly 600,000 here.
