How is the day to day life of a biomedical engineer going on.im really interested in that field and expect to work on it .while I was going through people's comments on multiple social medias half of them don't recommend others to do it.they say biomeds are running out of jobs,lower salaries,less reputation hints like that. So I warmly invite everyone who reads this that are currently working or worked on biomed to reply to me .I hope that is more accurate and helpful. I wish to have even a few words from everyone.What is you guys opinion on this
I am currently doing my AL's on science stream.
I wish to work as biomedical engineer in future
I expect to pursue bsc.robotics and mecatronis engineering degree with biology courses.

Hi Sithumdi,
Your daily routine will vary based on the field or department you're in at your company. Here are some exciting possibilities:
- As an R&D engineer, you could create and develop new medical devices, including prototyping and testing.
- As a project manager, you could oversee the entire lifecycle of a medical device, from its initial idea to full production.
- As a sales engineer, you could sell medical devices or equipment to hospitals, helping improve patient care.
- As a quality engineer, you could develop and enforce systems and processes, ensuring devices meet all regulations.
There are many other specialized roles within each area, so the range of jobs is vast. Discover what excites you and give it a try!

Hi Sithumdi,
From everything that read today at a global level (check out some online AI searches) and from friends of mine in this profession, biomedical engineers are definitely in demand and their salaries are very competitive. It may be, though, that certain countries have an employment problem, or that some biomeds are too narrowly defining their expertise. I have had many successful biomed engineering jobs for decades here in the USA. In each place, lots of my coworkers came from other countries: Afghanistan, Russia, India, Iran, England, France, Japan, etc. No doubt there are fine jobs out there. You’ll be in a great position with robotics and mechatronics with biology courses. In order to answer what day-to-day life is like, you’ll need to be more specific. Happily there are so many specialties of biomed jobs; research & development, manufacturing, in-hospital, laboratory, customer support, repair, training, consulting. I recommend that you pick some specialties or job functions that excite you. At that point you can get answers about day-to-day activities.
Enjoy your journey!
