There are a variety of technical tasks that make up much of my day. The rest involves communication with other team members and individuals throughout the company. As has always been the case at Guidant, I'm kept busy learning something new. Responsibility and teamwork are paramount. More than that, it is a place where you can expect to be challenged.
Guidant employees strive to grow and that attitude is infectious.
I support the drug-eluting stent project for process compatibility. I manage a group of 20 engineers and technicians that develop processes for manufacturing new stent implants. Some of the engineers also provide support on two production shifts for stent implants that are being produced for sale domestically and internationally. My career has been quite varied and rewarding ever since. The culture has remained dynamic and highly ethical, and I feel proud to be part of such a great team that provides benefits to patients worldwide.
