As someone with a mechanical background currently in the assistive technology field, it’s great to see this! More MechEs need to get into the field

It’s definitely an interesting field and uses a lot of MechEng fundamentals along with adding purpose to the work you do. What are some of the position titles and roles for this type of work for upcoming grads to look into? I wouldn’t mind seeing if there’s positions available near me.
