What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a biomedical engineering role where I can maintain and troubleshoot medical equipment, ensure IEC 60601/ISO 13485 compliance, and support clinical teams with documentation and training, with opportunities to grow through innovation and continuous learning.

I’m a Registered Candidate Engineer (Biomedical) and Biomedical Engineer with hands-on experience supporting healthcare technology in hospital settings and a rehabilitation centre. I focus on keeping critical equipment safe, reliable, and ready for patient care through structured maintenance and testing.

I’m skilled in preventive and corrective maintenance, electrical fault diagnosis, calibration, and commissioning, with strong grounding in IEC 60601 and ISO 13485. I also maintain accurate service records and technical documentation to support traceability, regulatory compliance, and quality systems.

Across clinical rotations and industrial placements, I’ve partnered with clinical teams to minimize disruption during maintenance, deliver user training and education, and provide technical support. I also contribute to Health Technology Assessment work and assist with clinical engineering support in regulated environments.

I’m motivated by healthcare technology innovation and continuous learning, demonstrated through projects like a bilateral robotic rehabilitation hand device and a brain signal controlled electric wheelchair system. I’m especially interested in field-based roles where I can travel, troubleshoot effectively, and improve patient outcomes through dependable biomedical engineering.
