A startup company. - Software Engineer FMI Medical Systems Employee Review

There are numerous aspects to learn when it comes to manufacturing an entire CT scanner, including software, hardware, and more.

Due to ongoing financial losses, obtaining a salary increase has become challenging for employees at the company.

Challenging is a good term. In helping to create a new company and CT Scanner systems, I used all my skills in Software development, Process management, Team management, and vendor management. Working in the medical device industry is a challenge. Documentation of design, and process is important and required. But the benefits I had were learning new technology (e.g., C#) and applying my Physics training in developing control systems. And I enjoyed gaining many good friends.

There was considerable stress due to changing priorities. I can say I finally trusted one upper manager, but not his boss. I liked working there but also was considering leaving when they had layoffs in late 2018. I have no regrets working there, but I am glad I do not work there now.
