Infection prevention and sterilization equipment for healthcare and pharma operations
STERIS manufactures infection prevention and sterilization systems for hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and medical device companies. The tech stack—dominated by industrial design (CAD: SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo; simulation: ANSYS) and embedded systems (PLC, SCADA, HMI, FPGA, Allen-Bradley)—reflects a hardware-first organization building physical equipment, not software platforms. Hiring is manufacturing and engineering-heavy (322 roles across both departments), with a secondary push into operations and healthcare functions, signaling aggressive capacity buildout for new product lines and manufacturing footprint expansion.
