Life at GE : Careers : GE

What were you doing before joining GE?

I joined GE right after completing my undergraduate degree.

Why did you decide to join GE?

It may sound cliché, but I really wanted to work on technology that helps save lives! I was excited about more than GE Healthcare’s product portfolio though – GE as a whole is such a well-respected company with great opportunities for growth and development. Also, since I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to work on specifically, the Edison Engineering Development Program seemed like a great place to start off on a exciting career path with GE.

What are you working on now?

I am wrapping up my 3rd rotation as a clinical research engineer with the Advanced Medical Applications Team in Interventional Cardiology. My team is developing a CT/Fluoro fusion application, which will serve as a potential breakthrough in electro-physiology ablation procedures. My core team is located in Buc, France and I work very closely with a local clinical site here in Milwaukee. My responsibilities include on-site clinical investigation and support, software development and publication development. For my last rotation, I will be working as a quality auditor with the GAC Audit Team.

What has been most rewarding about your GE experience?

The GEHC Edison Program has given me the opportunity to work in very diverse and interesting roles. I have worked in hardware design, software development, clinical research and I will soon be in a quality auditing role. My roles have been both challenging and fun. Through these roles, I have grown immensely in technical depth, critical thinking and overall leadership abilities.

Another thing that makes working for GE so rewarding is that the business strives to be a “good” company, not just a great company. Initiatives like the Africa project as well as local volunteer initiatives make me proud and excited to be a part of GE.
