Getting to work in a field dedicated to improving patient lives is rewarding and a privilege, according to Paul Dunphy, associate director for asset management and engineering reliability at Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS).
But what kind of skills do you need to work in pharmaceutical engineering? Dunphy said it’s crucial that pharma engineers have a “desire to solve problems”. They must also be able to collaborate across different types of teams.
