Some more good news on tech jobs in the pipeline for Cork. This time Allen-Vanguard are expanding their R&D operations in Kilbrittain. I’ve never heard of the company before but apparently “Allen-Vanguard is a leading manufacturer of robots which are used by security forces to perform dangerous tasks”.
There are few details available at the moment but from Micheál Martin’s comments it sounds like some of the work is in software engineering coupled with electronics, RF and mechanical engineering.
There has been a raft of recent announcements relating to tech jobs in Cork. It would be unfair to suggest that they are all in response to the recent job losses in Cork, coupled with an upcoming general election and the fact that the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment is from Cork. No doubt these announcements would be made regardless. But it does some very coincidental.
