Career opportunities
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in medical research and care. Networking of medical devices, automation of processes, personalisation of treatments, novel sensors and procedures: all these areas need engineers with multidisciplinary training in biomedical technology to drive these developments forward, test them and transfer them into pre-clinical and clinical application. The medtech sector is an important and rapidly growing industry in Germany and the demand for well-trained professionals is consistently very high.
This means that the field of activity is very broad. Some examples:
- Research and development at a technology company or supplier to the medical technology industry
- Installation and operation of complex medical technology systems in a clinical environment
- Sales, process and quality management or consulting for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers
- Development of systems to support digital health applications (DIGA)
- And remember: MedTech spin-offs are not only lucrative, but also drive innovation; maybe you have a great idea too? Ulm University offers a stimulating environment for this.
