About

Enthusiastic and motivated Biomedical Engineering graduate with hands-on experience in medical device maintenance, repair, safety testing, and compliance documentation within hospital environments. Skilled in planned preventative maintenance (PPM) coordination, systematic fault diagnosis, inventory management, and cross-functional collaboration with clinical users and suppliers. Demonstrates strong knowledge of medical device design principles, electrical safety standards, and regulatory compliance.

Eager to join West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as a Band 4 Clinical Engineer, supporting the safe management of medical devices while developing specialist technical skills through comprehensive in-house and external training.

Experience

Intern – Hospital Operations and Management Support - Gaurik Healthcare Solutions

  • Maintained and updated comprehensive planned preventative maintenance (PPM) records for a wide range of biomedical equipment, ensuring accurate service scheduling, regulatory compliance, and full traceability within a quality management framework.
  • Assessed, diagnosed, and rectified equipment faults using systematic fault-finding techniques, ensuring devices were restored to manufacturer specifications and escalating complex issues to senior engineers and suppliers where appropriate.
  • Coordinated maintenance activities with clinical users, manufacturers, and external suppliers, ensuring timely availability of critical hospital equipment and minimising disruption to patient care delivery.
  • Performed inventory monitoring and stock management of medical devices, spare parts, and consumables, supporting efficient asset tracking and ensuring adequate stock levels for maintenance operations.
  • Maintained accurate technical records and documentation in accordance with departmental procedures, manufacturer guidance, and relevant safety standards — supporting audit readiness and regulatory compliance.
  • Collaborated with multidisciplinary internal teams to ensure timely servicing and availability of critical hospital equipment, providing technical advice and assistance to clinical staff as required.
  • Gained exposure to financial and resource planning processes for healthcare technology procurement, contributing to cost-effective equipment acquisition and replacement planning.

Intern – Medical Device Testing & Compliance - Harvey Biomedical - Bangalore, India

  • Conducted functional testing, performance evaluation, and safety verification of biomedical devices to ensure compliance with operational standards and regulatory requirements — directly supporting IEC 60601 and IEC 62353-aligned safety testing practices.
  • Diagnosed and supported troubleshooting of device faults across electrical and electro-mechanical systems, contributing to improved equipment reliability and reduced downtime through systematic root-cause analysis.
  • Prepared detailed technical reports documenting device performance, test results, fault analysis, and compliance findings to support engineering decision-making and quality assurance.
  • Performed calibration checks and safety testing protocols, documenting results to ensure devices met specified performance criteria before clinical deployment — supporting acceptance testing and commissioning workflows.

Intern – Embedded Systems Development - Vaayusastra Aerospace Pvt. Ltd. - IIT Research Park, Chennai, India

  • Conducted system testing and data analysis to evaluate performance and identify potential improvements, applying systematic fault-finding techniques to diagnose system-level issues.
  • Documented technical findings and system performance reports with precision and clarity, supporting engineering decision-making and continuous improvement processes.
  • Applied electrical and mechanical engineering principles to validate component integration within complex device architectures — supporting understanding of design principles relevant to clinical engineering environments.
