Thanks and regards,

Departmental engineer/technician
This is an interesting area. See ref 1 for the problems of distinguishing between an engineer and a technician in a medical setting.
Is s/he a technician doing vital tests and procedures or an engineer designing /supervising the use of technology in the clinic?
The context may help you decide.
See ref 2 for description of a clinical technician.

Rather strange. "Ing. Cand. Sci." sounds an odd mixture of Swedish and English.
However, if she is signing off a lab report, I would go for "Medical Technician"

Yes, My Danish is very slight I'm afraid, but see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cand.scient. This implies she has an MSc in engineering or an M.Eng in UK terms.
I which case, Departmental Engineer may be better

| Thank you, Michael. It is hard to determine which it is, to be fair, but from the context, I believe it to be a technician in a medical setting. Her colleague holds a "Ing. Cand. Sci.", so I don't know if this sheds any light? Regards, Alison. |
| Hi again, my Swedish colleague tells me it's a Danish qualification! Alison. |

| Hei, Eodd, and thank you for your contribution! The 'staff engineer's' colleague (two people signing off the lab report) holds a "Ing. Cand. Sci." (not sure of the equivalent English term), if this sheds any light... |

Michael Ellis
: Eodd, I think your example and definitions refer to an engineer participating in academic research, rather than workingin a clinic.
