How do they match: Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers

  • Biomedical Scientist
  • Biomedical Analytical Scientist
  • Pharmaceutical Scientist
  • Research Scientist

  • Apply knowledge of engineering, biology, chemistry, computer science, and biomechanical principles to the design, development, and evaluation of biological, agricultural, and health systems and products, such as artificial organs, prostheses, instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems.

  • Adapt or design computer hardware or software for medical science uses.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing or quality assurance staff to prepare product specification or safety sheets, standard operating procedures, user manuals, or qualification and validation reports.
  • Conduct research, along with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists, on the engineering aspects of the biological systems of humans and animals.
  • Confer with research and biomanufacturing personnel to ensure the compatibility of design and production.
  • Design or develop medical diagnostic or clinical instrumentation, equipment, or procedures, using the principles of engineering and biobehavioral sciences.
  • Design or direct bench or pilot production experiments to determine the scale of production methods that optimize product yield and minimize production costs.
  • Develop bioremediation processes to reduce pollution, protect the environment, or treat waste products.
  • Develop methodologies for transferring procedures or biological processes from laboratories to commercial-scale manufacturing production.
  • Prepare technical reports, data summary documents, or research articles for scientific publication, regulatory submissions, or patent applications.
  • Read current scientific or trade literature to stay abreast of scientific, industrial, or technological advances.
  • Research new materials to be used for products, such as implanted artificial organs.

  • Advise customers on the use of products or services.
  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Estimate time requirements for development or production projects.
