Why did you join Medtronic?
|
Medtronic was named numerously as a technology leader throughout my career as
a student at CWRU by my professors. Many of my professors had strong
ties and affiliations to local hospital research at University Hospitals, the
Cleveland Clinic and VA medical Center, they would share their experiences with
industry products and I realized my interests lay with implantable medical devices. By
junior year in college I knew that I wanted to work for the leader in the implantable
medical device industry –Medtronic. I applied late in my Junior year
through CWRU’s recruiting office. After several rounds of interviewing
I was offered a position in house as a Test Engineer.
