At STERIS, we are invested in the growth and success of all our Associates, and Bruno, a senior mechanical engineer on our Infection Prevention Technologies (IPT) and Life Sciences (LS) Research and Development (R&D) team, is someone who can truly speak to that. Bruno joined STERIS ten years ago, but initiated a major life change that began in 2018. Originally based in Brazil, Bruno was offered an opportunity for a new role that he couldn’t pass up, but that role was based in Mentor, Ohio. He began the process of obtaining his work visa so he could move the United States, and after holding that work visa for over a year, he was finally able to apply for and receive his Green Card with his wife. “Living in a different culture opened our minds, making us more flexible to accept and solve problems,” he shared. Moving out of your home country can be intimidating, but with the support from STERIS and having his wife by his side, he found a few silver linings: a new role and new personal passions like running and CrossFit. “When I first moved to the United States, I didn’t know many people. That motivated me to develop new passions. I got to know people from running clubs and CrossFit gyms, and I’ve participated in two full and several half marathons.” Bruno applies the mindset of flexibility and adaptability at work, too. “Being a mechanical engineer is all about merging the tangible world of designing and constructing objects. I have a chance to tackle intricate projects by utilizing various disciplines including math, chemistry and mechanics. I get to work with large teams and I’m able to see our concepts transform into tangible machines that people need and use.” Below, Bruno shares a piece of advice for those looking to enter the engineering field.
