 My name is Alicia Evans. I work as a Product Development Engineer at Fisher and Puggle Healthcare. The coolest project I've worked on would be the OptiFlow Junior cannula. So that is a set of nasal prongs that is applied to often a premature infant or a kid that can't breathe properly. Maybe their lungs aren't fully developed. Maybe they have asthma or pneumonia. We helped to develop a cannula. It was pretty revolutionary in the field in terms of its design and how it helped to treat those infants and babies. We put the patient and our caregiver at the heart of how we design. That's why we do well at it. A typical day's work at Fisher and Puggle totally depends on what stage you are at the project and that's really cool in itself. So there's a huge variety of work. As an engineer you do everything from the customer research right at the start of a project, going into hospitals, visiting clinicians, asking them how our devices work, how we can make them better, right through to prototype and design, manufacturing. We do most of our manufacturing onsite here in New Zealand. So it totally depends on the phase. I originally studied mechatronics at Canterbury University. I really liked the variety of work that engineering could offer, particularly mechatronics. So you're doing part mechanical, part electrical and a little bit of software. I really enjoyed making things. I was reasonably creative as a kid and I really enjoyed problem solving. And so when I applied for a job here I got a role as a mechanical product development engineer and it was really great. So there's two things I really love about working here. One's the practical side of it, trying to get into the workshop more, trying to learn how to make things like mould tools for injection moulding. And the second thing I really love is making a meaningful difference seeing how our products can impact the lives of a patient or a caregiver.
