Hi guys!

I have an interview tomorrow for the post of an electromedical engineer where the job would deal with installation + maintenance and repair of medical imaging machines like CT scan, X-ray machine, Ultrasound, MRI etc.

It is an entry level job & training would be provided if selected.

I was just wondering what sort of qns i should be expecting at the interview.

Thanks in advance.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
if i may add, the interview is with the engineering dept.
thanks
 
Hey fremble I don't have a answer to your question but the job posting seems very interesting. It looks close to what I want to pursue as a career as far as what you described, maybe more on the R&D side. Can you elaborate more on your education background? So far I am interested in an M.S. in medical physics but need to decide on a major/minor first. I am thinking a major in biomedical engineering and minor in physics.
 
Hey zman35.
I've done my B.Eng in Electrical and Electronics.
As per my experience, this degree can lead to a lot of paths in the future.
May it be power engineer, electromedical engineer, Telecomm engineer etc
Have you spoken to any university department lecturers/heads about your interest and how best to take things at the undergrad. level?
 
My guess at some of the technical questions would involve how do the machines that you'll be working on work?

There'll be the usual HR type questions too... Why do you want to work here? What makes you a good candidate? etc... What do you know about our company...?
 
How much does such a job pay?

I'm thinking of leaving medical physics.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
