You'll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation for a more connected, compassionate world. About the Role As a member of Minimed’s Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensor R&D team the Biomedical Engineer II will assist with the development of MiniMed's glucose biosensors. This Biomedical Engineer II is responsible for hands-on sensor design, structured experimentation, and statistical analysis in support of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor development and performance characterization. Working within a collaborative R&D team, this individual will contribute directly to sensor design activities, execute experiments, and apply statistical methods to interpret results and support data-driven design decision making. This individual will bring a strong aptitude for hands-on experimentation and quantitative analysis. This individual will execute experiments and analysis to enable meaningful contributions to sensor development programs and support continued technical growth within the organization. This individual will also be responsible for troubleshooting, collaborating within and across functions, and writing technical documentation.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree with 2+ years of relevant experience; or advanced degree with 0+ years of relevant experience.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on laboratory experience with electrochemical wearable biosensors, CGM, or related medical device systems.
Familiarity with statistical software tools such as Minitab or JMP for experimental data analysis and visualization.
Demonstrated ability to work both independently and within a team-based project environment.
Direct experience with technical documentation including laboratory notebooks, engineering reports, standard operating procedures, and test protocols.
Experience working with vendors, material suppliers, and equipment manufacturers.
Familiarity with quality system requirements, design controls, and good laboratory practices in a regulated medical device or cGMP environment.
Demonstrated written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present experimental results and analytical findings clearly to project teams.

Responsibilities

Designs, develops, and evaluates electrochemical CGM, learning and applying foundational electrochemical and biomedical engineering principles to inform design decisions and understand how design parameters affect sensor performance.
Applies & instills Best-Known-Methods for robust characterization of various sensor signals and performance outputs
Applies data analysis and statistical methodologies to generate insights on sensor performance, drive experiment design and project next steps
Conducts 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
Utilizes technical skills associated with Six Sigma, Lean, DRM/DFSS and other appropriate continuous improvement techniques
Maintains accurate and complete laboratory records, experimental documentation, and data analysis reports in compliance with applicable quality system requirements and design controls.
Contributes to the completion of project milestones under the guidance of senior members of the team, developing technical depth and breadth through mentored project work.
