Biomechanical Engineers use physics and engineering practices to design and develop machines, healthcare equipment and personal devices that improve human health and medical practices. They can work in a range of niche areas including prosthetics, stem cells, robotics, implants, laboratory research, computer modelling, equipment installation and repairs.

As a Biomechanical Engineer you could be creating a computer model of children with arthritis to compare with healthy children, designing educational toys for babies, refining the design of a pacemaker, developing a new monitoring device for athletes, designing prosthetic devices for mass production, teaching a team of nurses how to use a newly released machine for monitoring core vitals, or testing and repairing an imaging device at a hospital.

To succeed in this occupation you’ll need a curious mind, a strong set of technical skills, and the ability to communicate with the people who will actually use your devices on a daily basis.
