This lab operates as a day to day operational processing workflow, meaning large volumes must be reliably completed by the team each day. As a result, it can be a little high pressure and high stress, but the work just needs focus and dedication to get done. We have a team that prizes equal distribution of work and collaboration to get the job done. The ideal candidate will thrive on routine, enjoy independent work, and find satisfaction in following precise procedures to get the job done.

At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. In-person exchanges are invaluable to our work. We are working onsite a minimum of 4 days per week as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary.
