Career transition to medical device

CIE/USA-SF is a non-profit and non-political organization serving engineers and students in San Francisco Bay Area enginnering community. The missions of CIE/USA-SF are to promote technological advancement, networking, and communicating among engineers and scientists, and to promote well-being of engineering community.

Chinese Institute of Engineers(CIE) San Francisco Bay Area Chapter

This event hosted by CIE-SF and co-hosted with CASPA.
Medical device is a multi-disciplinary industry; it often requires a team of experts in medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and software engineering.  The challenge to successfully developing a medical device is to recruit experts in a multi-disciplinary team who can clearly communicate with each other.  Several advanced technologies enable the development of personalized or precision medicine, such as lab-on-chip, 3D printing, high resolution imaging, and artificial intelligence.  Medical device industry is highly regulated by FDA such that the product development process much more controlled when compared to either consumer or industrial products.  We will discuss advanced medical devices technologies and explore career opportunities for engineers.
