Job Description:

Careers That Change Lives

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 development of suitable predictive models to gain insights relating sensing fundamentals, design, and testing to sensor signal outputs. 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.

A Day in the Life

The Biomedical Engineer II will work on 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.

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.

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 characterization models to establish optimal design and process parameters with respect to sensor in-vivo performance
  • Conduct design of experiments (DOE) to model the statistically significant critical to quality (CTQ) sensor performance output variability and main effects with respect to process and environmental inputs
  • Assume responsibility as subject matter expert to represent organization as primary contact for specific projects and initiatives
  • Utilize technical skills associated with Six Sigma, Lean, DRM/DFSS and other appropriate continuous improvement techniques
  • Ensure execution of detailed engineering analyses & documentation to support design development, process transfer, and regulatory submission
  • Work with other engineers and technicians to execute experimental designs.

Must Have: Minimum Requirements

To be considered for this role, please ensure the minimum requirements are evident on your resume.

  • Experience with design of experiments
  • Knowledge about in-vitro and in-vivo testing of subcutaneous medical devices
  • Direct experience in programming and model development with MATLAB and/or Python
  • Exposure to Design for Reliability and Manufacturability (DRM) principles
  • Experience with technical documentation (Ex. laboratory notebooks, publications, engineering reports, IQ/OQ/PQ's, Standard Operating Procedures, test protocols, etc.)
  • Experience working in a cleanroom environment
  • Experience with Project Management and relevant tools
  • Knowledge of medical device product development cycle
  • Related experience providing supporting data to governing bodies (FDA, cFDA, PMDA, LNE GMED, etc.)
