337 biomedical engineer interview questions shared by candidates

An excerpt from the email covering the process of the full interview: Part 1) Something about yourself and your experience to help us get to know you and a technical brief on one or two of your projects highlighting your contribution. This should be about ½ hour. Part 2) For the second half hour, take a look at the most current SBIR topic list and select one of interest to you. It is located here: https://sbir.defensebusiness.org/topics. Read through the topic and present a proposed approach to solve one of the topics. Tell us why your proposal could be better than the what others might propose (technical solution, capabilities, plan, etc. whatever you think stands out). Pick whatever interests you. I am sharing an outline below of what we hope to see in an SBIR presentation. 1. Identify the Topic and describe the problem to be addressed. 2. Discuss the requirements listed in the Topic and how they constrain the solution space. Identify any additional unstated constraints that you feel would be important. 3. Describe background research you did to develop a technical approach. Generally just web searching. 4. Describe your preferred technical approach and how you developed it. 5. Discuss alternatives and why you feel your approach is preferred. 6. Provide some back-of-the-envelope analysis if possible. 7. Provide drawings. CAD is not necessary. Many candidates use PowerPoint or scans/photos of hand sketches. 8. Describe what you would do in a Phase I project. How would you use a $100k-$150k budget over 6 months to demonstrate the feasibility of your technical approach. 9. In less detail, what would you do in a $1M, 24-month Phase II project to demonstrate proof of concept. 10. Describe any additional applications for the technology within the DoD and non-Government commercial opportunities. Overall this is generally about 15-20 slides.
