Dexcom Corporation (NASDAQ DXCM; Market Cap $44.3B) is a pioneer and global leader in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Dexcom began as a small company with a big dream: To forever change how diabetes is managed. To unlock information and insights that drive better health outcomes. Here we are 25 years later, having pioneered an industry. And we're just getting started. We are broadening our vision beyond diabetes to empower people to take control of health. That means personalized, actionable insights aimed at solving important health challenges. To continue what we've started: Improving human health.

We are driven by nearly 10,000 ambitious, passionate people worldwide who are willing to fight like warriors to earn the trust of our customers by listening, serving with integrity, thinking big, and being dependable. We've already changed millions of lives and we're ready to change millions more. Our future ambition is to become a leading consumer health technology company while continuing to develop solutions for serious health conditions. We'll get there by constantly reinventing unique biosensing-technology experiences. Though we've come a long way from our small company days, our dreams are bigger than ever. The opportunity to improve health on a global scale stands before us.

Meet the team:

The Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team works in new product introduction as the bridge between R&D and operations. The Process Development team specifically focuses on designing and qualifying new processes from initial pilot and clinical builds to product launch and supporting through scale-up stabilization. This includes manufacturing process automation, test method development, specification development, and product stability testing throughout various stresses seen in commercial production and use. This team works very closely with R&D on the latest and novel technologies and concepts for glucose sensing subsystems. We are looking for someone with a thorough understanding of medical device development and a practical problem solver to join a fast-paced and supportive environment!

Where you come in:

• You will resolve complex process/product development and manufacturing issues, overseeing internal resources, and independently contributing to the integration of new products and processes from R&D, focused on the product analytics, test method development, and sensor performance space.

• You will optimize analytical methods for quantifying the effects of stresses in commercial product use on sensor performance including aging, sterilization, storage/shipping excursions, wear, etc.

• You will drive an understanding of system level trade-offs and interactions of the sensor physiology with underlying scientific challenges of new innovations and root cause understanding of product failure modes

• You will design processes and partner with benchtop, pre-clinical, clinical, and qualification teams as needed to build out correlations of in vitro and in vivo performance.

• You will solve problems where the path forward is ambiguous and cross-functional.

• You will mentor and foster the growth of junior engineers as a technical lead on the team.

• You will partner with development and sustaining operations teams to align on commercial feasibility and hand-off plans as technologies mature.

What makes you successful:

• Your knowledge of analytical techniques and instrumentation and ability to provide direct, candid feedback to your team will produce critical insight to improve our products and processes.

• You can independently manage projects, timelines, and influence project teams to deliver useful and scalable solutions in a fast-paced environment.

• You are highly organized and detail-oriented with a strong analytical and broad engineering mindset.

• You understand how to troubleshoot batch processes in the medical device or pharmaceutical field and can quickly design experiments to scope problems and find solutions.

• Your proficiency in written, verbal and visual communication, and demonstrated ability to coordinate and prioritize work helps your team close-out project objectives on time.

• You have a Bachelor’s degree, or preferably higher degree, in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, or related field with significant experience in the biotech, pharmaceutical, or medical device industry.

What you’ll get:

• A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. Learn about our brave #dexcomw
