Blaise Béguin

Systems Quality Manager @ Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne

About

My nine-year journey in medical technology began as the very first employee at SteriLux, a startup where I spent six years building a new sterilization device from scratch and developing its entire technological and electronic core. This formative adventure took me from hands-on hardware development to a systems engineering role at Bio-Rad, a global diagnostics leader. There, for the past three years, I've managed complex product portfolios, including one with over 50 products and $200M in annual revenue. At my core, I am an engineer passionate about solving concrete health problems with technology. Whether designing hardware or architecting complex systems, I am fundamentally driven by taking responsibility to deliver results and new technologies that provide real solutions. I am now actively seeking my next challenge in product innovation and welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss future projects.
