I work as the sole manufacturing engineer for a small biomedical company in Atlanta, GA called SaluMedica (
www.salumedica.com). We make cutting edge biomedical products from Salubria biomaterial.
Our current product line consists of SaluBridge and SaluCartilage. SaluBridge provides a protective environment for peripheral nerve repair after injury. SaluCartilage is an implant for replacing worn articular cartilage in the knees for "total-knee" candidates. Our product is best because it is less invasive and it restores mobility and relieves joint pain with a very quick recovery period post surgery, unlike getting a total-knee. Of course there are many more breakthrough products in the R&D pipeline, but I am not at a liberty to discuss those.
I started as the draftsman and moved up to technician. Both of these positions I held while attending college @ Georgia Tech. I finally became the manufacturing engineer after getting my BSME. I draft using the most current release from SolidWorks.
I'm supposed to be closing on my first home in two days!
