What careers could you pursue with a Biomedical Engineering degree?

There are a number of exciting job roles in the field of biomedical engineering. Here  are some examples:

Independent consultant

An independent biomedical engineering consultant works with medical organisations and research institutions to offer recommendations and guidance. Their input can impact how a workforce is organised, what different types of equipment is used, and how processes are executed.

Manufacturing engineer

A manufacturing engineer is involved in the production and design of products, aiming to create high-quality goods at low prices. In the biomedical field, these products tend to be created for use within the healthcare sector. They can include imaging tools, prosthetic limbs, and hospital equipment. A manufacturing engineer with a biomedical engineering background can take a leadership position in designing these products or manage teams who create them.

Biomaterials developer

A biomedical engineer may develop biomaterials, which can either be artificial materials or natural living tissue, for the human body to use. Nano implants, drug delivery, biomedical implant development, and tissue engineering are all areas that a biomaterials developer could work in. Biomaterials can be used to either replace or repair lost function to the body or to image and detect disease.
