About the Role
MiniMed is seeking an experienced Senior Biomedical Engineer to join our Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Sensor R&D team. This is a key role with R&D to solve complex technical challenges for next generation of CGM sensor technologies as well as implementing key improvements to the existing sensor products in the field.
In this role, you will develop and execute data-driven experimental strategies to characterize component- and system-level performance and translate technical insights into actionable improvements that influence the design and reliability of next-generation Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensors. The role emphasizes structured problem-solving methodologies, including DMAIC, to drive product robustness, performance, and continuous improvement.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in medical device product development, preferably with expertise in electrochemical sensors and related medical device technologies. The candidate should demonstrate exceptional technical problem-solving and analytical capabilities, and proven experience working cross-functionally to solve component and system level technical challenges.
Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned.
Troubleshoot and characterize performance anomalies in microfabricated electrochemical biosensors through systematic experimentation, advanced analytical techniques, and data-driven analysis.
Develop, record, and perform various root-cause investigations on systems and components to determine failure mechanisms·
Write formal analysis reports, resulting in clear and accurate messaging about analysis findings to both the submitter and a broader audience·
Use working knowledge of failure modes of products to work with technicians and other R&D engineers to assess existing and potential failures·
Work with R&D and quality engineers to identify opportunities for improvements in product quality, reliability, manufacturability, and functionality·
Initiates and leads the efforts on implementing improvements identified as a part of continuous improvement·
Obtain, interpret, and utilize data from formal test, complaint handling, and other document repositories·
Develop new test methodologies to aid in the failure analysis of components and products·
Identify and research component & system failures in the early stages of product development to improve product quality and reliability·
Development of analytical methodologies and equipment acquisitions to ensure strategic failure analysis capabilities for future technologies and products·
Contribute to development of continuous glucose monitoring subsystems as relevant to the group goals
Designs, develops and provides safety testing, repair, and maintenance of biomedical equipment.
Ensures that the biomedical equipment is in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and quality control standards.
Design studies and conduct research on enzyme reactions and the effects of organic compounds on biological processes.
Participate in activities such as compound screening and compound optimization programs, and developing and running enzyme assays.
Required Knowledge and Experience:
