How do they match: Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers

  • Biochemistry Chemical Engineering Analyst
  • Biomedical Equipment Technician

  • 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.

  • Advise hospital administrators on the planning, acquisition, and use of medical equipment.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing or quality assurance staff to prepare product specification or safety sheets, standard operating procedures, user manuals, or qualification and validation reports.
  • Communicate with suppliers regarding the design or specifications of bioproduction equipment, instrumentation, or materials.
  • Conduct research, along with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists, on the engineering aspects of the biological systems of humans and animals.
  • Conduct training or in-services to educate clinicians and other personnel on proper use of equipment.
  • Consult with chemists or biologists to develop or evaluate novel technologies.
  • Design or develop medical diagnostic or clinical instrumentation, equipment, or procedures, using the principles of engineering and biobehavioral sciences.
  • Evaluate the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of biomedical equipment.
  • Lead studies to examine or recommend changes in process sequences or operation protocols.
  • Prepare project plans for equipment or facility improvements, including time lines, budgetary estimates, or capital spending requests.
  • Recommend process formulas, instrumentation, or equipment specifications, based on results of bench or pilot experimentation.
  • Write documents describing protocols, policies, standards for use, maintenance, and repair of medical equipment.

  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Confer with technical personnel to prepare designs or operational plans.
  • Develop operational methods or processes that use green materials or emphasize sustainability.
  • Estimate operational costs.
  • Evaluate characteristics of equipment or systems.
  • Maintain operational records or records systems.
  • Research engineering aspects of biological or chemical processes.
  • Train personnel on proper operational procedures.
