Graduate spotlight: Miguel’s first year creating impact with Resmed’s Graduate Manufacturing Rotation Program

From designing biomedical solutions at university to helping deliver life-changing health technologies to millions, Sydney-based Graduate Manufacturing Engineer Miguel Campos is driven by a passion for innovation that makes a real difference. Before joining Resmed in September 2024 as part of the Graduate Manufacturing Rotation Program, Miguel earned a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering and medical science from the University of Sydney in 2022.
