Hardware Engineer I

Our Hardware Engineers are key contributors of our design centric product development process. Through the design journey, these engineers work with the cross-function teams to deliver products that customers love to use. They help streamline and speed our time to market and build quality in at every step.

Every day, you'll work with your inter-disciplinary team to meet the challenges at hand. You will apply advanced technical strategy and concepts to solve complex problems and distill these down to simple, elegant product offerings which strike the appropriate balance of functionality and user engagement.

We count on you to strengthen our procedural fluency in your specialty and to push the edges of how we produce products that inspire both internal and external stakeholders.

Location: Boulder, CO

Operating Unit

You will be a member of the technology and product development team within the Acute Care and Monitoring (ACM) business. Specifically, you will join a high growth R&D team, dedicated to creating category redefining products for airway management. Our team originated from Medtronic's acquisition of Aircraft Medical, which created the McGrath Mac Video Laryngoscope. The team is designer-led and follows a human-centered design process to deliver thoughtful and inspiring products that truly address unmet costumer needs.

You will work in a cooperative workspace with key, cross functional partners. Every day, you'll be rubbing elbows with designers, design researchers, clinical scientists, marketers, engineers with multiple disciplines and manufacturing experts all with a "can do, will do" spirit.

Impact patient outcomes. Come for a job, stay for a career.
