Found a link that explained the status of the biomedical industry. Be advised that this is a .pdf file. Wikipedia has an list of the industry’s major players.

I’ve been reading about Siemens the other day; I wonder if anybody working at Siemens can give some clue of what the work is like. The company has a diverse set of products, so to keep it simple, I’m just going to talk about those that interests me.

A long time ago, I had some interest in Process Control.. however, things just didn’t take off from there. Let me see, when I think about Process Control, the oil industry comes to mind, along with it’s supporting companies. Siemens is probably one of those in supporting roles. So I wonder what types of positions would be compatible with my expertise?

After talking to a friend who went to a mining oriented school in colorado, she said one position that an electrical engineer would be assigned to at an oil company would probably be of the analyst type. Hmm, interesting.. so with that in mind, I put in these keywords (electrical, petroleum) in some job sites to get a feel. Since I want to concentrate on the oil sector for now, I narrowed down my options to Siemens Energy & Automation. Well, what do you know, that search produced results that weren’t exactly what
I was looking for; but it gave enough clues that they this part of the company are probably interested in EE’s with electronic and electromechanical design and troubleshooting experience.  In other words, they’re looking for the EE with Power Systems focus. Well, scratch that, this area is more for my little sis, who’s going to graduate soon with a bachelor’s degree. Although not totally outside of my field, I need to look at other areas to quickly get a feel of the industry.

More to come…
