An important health and wellbeing theme
This year, Tomorrow's Engineers Week focuses on the impact engineers make on the nation’s health and wellbeing.
At Where Women Work, we’re proud to showcase prime employers for women in the medical technology field such as Medtronic and BD.
Become a Medtronic engineer
An engineering career at Medtronic is like no other. The organization is on a mission to alleviate pain, restore health and extend life for millions of people worldwide.
Medtronic’s first life-changing product — a wearable, battery-powered cardiac pacemaker – is the bedrock to what has become one of the world’s biggest and most innovative medical technology companies. Working as engineers with Medtronic, women can help save lives.
One such woman is Carol Malnati, a product development engineer in the Medtronic cardiovascular division. She says “I am passionate about encouraging women in the industry and giving girls in high school and college a vision of a career in engineering. Medtronic has a wonderful mission that can attract talented women.”
“We are very excited about providing this amazing pool of talent an opportunity at Medtronic,” adds Carol.
