While in the Navy, Bud earned a Masters Degree in Radio Engineering and was instrumental in the development of the earliest ship-based radar systems. At the conclusion of WWII, the highly decorated Lt. Cdr. Klink was medically retired due to complications of severe battle injuries sustained during the early stages of the war.

Concurrent with Bud's civil service endeavors, he was an entrepreneur-businessman, as principal of E.J. Klink and Associates, a biomedical engineering firm based in Albuquerque. He conducted pioneering research and development of cardiac and respiratory augmentation systems. Much of his early work involved emphysema and lung cancer research. Later, Bud developed cardiac assist systems and was awarded numerous patents including those for inventing the earliest pacemaker and the precursor to today's catheter for angioplasty.
