Electrical Engineering Manager- Surgical Robotics Released Product Engineering

Medtronic • North Haven, CT

1d • $142,400 - $213,600 • Onsite

About The Position

At Medtronic, we are driven by our Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Within Surgical Robotics (RST), we are advancing minimally invasive surgery through innovative robotic platforms. The Release Product Engineering (RPE) team plays a critical role in sustaining and enhancing released products, ensuring reliability, quality, and continuity of supply for our surgical robotic systems. As an Electrical Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of electrical engineers responsible for sustaining engineering, lifecycle management, and continuous improvement of complex electrical systems across Medtronic’s launched robotic platforms. This includes ownership of design changes, component obsolescence, supplier transfers, and field issue resolution within a regulated medical device environment. As an Electrical Engineering Manager for the RST RPE group, you will work in close collaboration with other R&D functions such as Mechanical, Product Engineering, Software and Systems engineers. You will lead and develop a high-performing team of electrical engineers supporting our released surgical robotics platform. The focus of this electrical engineering team expands across power distribution, computing and networking, visualization, and mechatronics of our capital equipment, as well as electronics supporting our consumables and robotic instrumentation equipment. If RPE projects are within your core field of expertise and needed, you might represent the R&D Hardware function as a project core team member, working alongside Marketing, Quality, Regulatory, Program Management and Operations to make critical decisions regarding projects execution and future product roadmaps within RPE. If you are a pioneer and would like to have a big impact into the new world of medical robotics – then come join our team!
