A Day in the Life

The Biomedical Engineer II will provide technical leadership through competencies in sensing devices and analysis. This individual will conduct rigorous experimentation, analysis, and generate quality results, providing development guidance and providing decisions to advance sensor programs. The focus will be on investigating and characterizing sensor data providing insights and satisfying program deliverables and requirements. There will be strong emphasis on Design for Reliability and Manufacturability (DRM) principles, problem solving methodologies (DMAIC), analytical data methodologies, and statistical rigor. The individual is expected to interpret sensor signal data at various test collection stages (bench top, animal, clinical), develop insights, and provide scientific recommendations on paths forward.

As a member of the Medtronic Diabetes – Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensor R&D team this Biomedical Engineer II will assist with the development of Medtronic’s glucose biosensors. This position is in the Sensor Prototyping, Development, and Materials group with the Sensor R&D organization. This group has three main functions consisting of merging the boundaries between sensing fundamentals, materials, and signals to implement design features and process improvements. The Biomedical Engineer II will support the team through the material and process design and development. The Biomedical Engineer II will support all three functions of the group to varying degrees over time based on business needs with a heavy emphasis on signal processing and  the analysis of complex experimental datasets.  

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

The individual is expected to interpret sensor signal data at various test collection stages (bench top, animal, clinical), develop insights, and provide scientific recommendations on paths forward.

This individual will be expected to perform independently and is responsible for experimental design, data analysis, troubleshooting, collaborating within and across functions, and writing technical documentation. He/she will work with other engineers to execute experiments, analysis, and accomplish project objectives. The individual will manage an agreed schedule to achieve project goals in a fast paced environment within specified timelines. He/she through experimental design and independent research will develop fundamental understandings of biosensor design fundamentals and impacts of manufacturing processes, design or material changes on signal performance in-vitro and in-vivo. This individual will also collaborate cross-functionally with organizations internal and externally in support of design transfers for new product introduction and commercial readiness.

There is a strong technical leadership path available to successful candidates. The engineer will have the opportunity to develop and provide technical guidance/leadership in signal analysis and sensor development as part of multiple cross-functional development teams. There will be occasions when communication to upper management is required through presentations and reports, and the individual must have the ability to effectively convey technical updates to internal and external stakeholders (vendors, regulatory, manufacturing, etc.).

Specific Responsibilities include:

• Contributing member within multidisciplinary teams to support the development of next generation subcutaneous biosensors with emphasis on glucose sensing
• Analysis of new sensing modalities, processes, and system integration
• Apply & instill Best-Known-Methods for robust characterization of various sensor signals and performance outputs
• Application of data analysis and statistical methodologies to generate insights on sensor performance, drive experiment design and project next steps
• Apply and interpret
