At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world.

A Day in the Life

This position will play a key role in the development of various new/improved chemistry layers/coatings of glucose sensors by designing and executing design feasibility, process development, and manufacturing transfer. This role will be responsible for driving the product build documentation, design and executing experiments and builds of sensors for pilot scale evaluations, execute data trending & statistical analysis. Upon successful process and design optimization, this role will subsequently support tech transfer to new product introduction and manufacturing teams. You will manage deliverables for multiple projects and maintain an effective system for tracking progress. You will be interfacing with Managers, Engineers &Technicians in R&D and New Product Introduction (NPI) Operations teams as well as Quality and Clinical groups to accomplish day to day activities. The candidate must have strong organizational skills, attention to details, an analytical mindset and ability to communicate effectively with multiple stakeholders.

This position is an exciting opportunity to work with Medtronic's Diabetes business. Medtronic has announced its intention to separate the Diabetes division to promote future growth and innovation within the business and reallocate investments and resources across Medtronic, subject to applicable information and consultation requirements. This separation provides our team with a bold opportunity to unleash our potential, enabling us to operate with greater speed and agility. As a separate entity, we anticipate leveraging increased investments to drive meaningful innovation and enhance our impact on patient care.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned.

• Develop & utilize technical & wet lab skills associated with medical device coatings/deposition & relevant fabrication processes
