A Day in the Life

The Senior Product Security Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring the security of Medtronic Surgical Operating Unit medical device solutions. Reporting to the Director of Product Security, this role supports the integration of advanced cybersecurity measures, identifies and mitigates potential vulnerabilities, and contributes to initiatives that improve cyber-resiliency throughout the product lifecycle. You will serve as a technical subject matter expert and mentor, collaborating across teams and contributing to long-term improvements in our security posture.

Careers that Change Lives

​​​​​​​In this engineering-focused role, you will join a world-class team of systems, mechanical, electrical, software, and quality engineers within Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit (OU). The Surgical OU brings together the people and portfolios of Surgical Robotics and Surgical Innovations to advance surgical care through robotics, surgical energy technologies, and digital solutions.

This role focuses on cybersecurity for medical devices and embedded systems. It is not an IT security, compliance, or GRC-focused position. The ideal candidate will have deep experience working with engineering teams to integrate cybersecurity into real-time systems, embedded firmware, connected devices, or other product-level security contexts.

With the Medtronic Mission as our North Star, we build on our legacy of proven surgical solutions and continue advancing the promise of robotics and digital technologies to improve outcomes for our customers and patients.

Make your impact by exploring a career with the world’s leading Medical Device company, striving “to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life.”
