About The Position

At Medtronic, you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world. This position is remote to enhance our competitive edge and expand our cross-functional collaboration efforts. This role will require 50% of travel to enhance collaboration and ensure successful completion of projects. Candidates local to Southern California are preferred. In this exciting role as a Field Services Engineer, you will be supporting maintenance and repairs of The Mazor™ robotic guidance system and The O-arm™ surgical imaging system within our Surgical Solutions Portfolio for spinal and cranial procedures. You’ll play a critical role in supporting clinicians and ensuring patients have access to the technology they depend on. When these systems are down, procedures can be delayed and care can be impacted. You are the person who shows up, diagnoses the issue, and gets things back up and running—often under time pressure and in high-stakes environments. You’ll work hands-on with complex, high-value equipment, requiring strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills to keep systems performing at their best in real clinical environments. This position covers the Los Angeles / San Diego / Southern California areas. You'll manage your own schedule and prioritize service calls across your territory. No two days look the same.
