The most technical part of my job has been developing the tools that allow me to do my research. The tools I require aren’t readily available because I need to work with data made by another company so I have to deal with patent law etc. So I’ve made my own tools from scratch to work with that data and that has been an incredibly technical task.

The most technical part of my work is analysing data and drawing up the right conclusions based on the results I gather.

As for me, the most technical part of my job is probably all of the going through all of the national and international rules for medical device safety. There are lots of technical things in that! If you mean technical as in hands-on, though, I also sometimes spend time making changes to wheelchairs, which involves plenty of getting onyour hands and knees with spanners and drills. Usually though (in most engineering areas, not just healthcare), there’s a difference between technician jobs – which are more hands-on – and engineer jobs – which are more to do with design and planning. Both are equally valid as career choices, and both are in need of more young talent!

The most technical part of my job is dealing with mathematical models, by this I mean, small programs that myself or someone at my place of work has written to process and analyse data, they are rarely simple equations and because we write them ourselves they can often have bugs as they aren’t checked as thoroughly as a piece of software you might buy in a shop.
