About The Position

At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. In-person exchanges are invaluable to our work. We’re working a minimum of 4 days a week onsite as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary. Our Neurovascular Operating Unit develops and delivers advanced, minimally invasive endovascular technologies for the treatment of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, brain aneurysms, and other complex cerebrovascular conditions. Through catheters, stent retrievers, flow diversion, and embolization systems, these solutions enable rapid, image-guided interventions that restore blood flow, secure vessels, and support consistent performance in high-acuity neurovascular procedures. As Reliability Engineer II, you ensure the performance, reliability, and safety of neurovascular products by designing and executing test plans, analyzing field and test data, and partnering with R&D, Clinical, Regulatory, and Manufacturing to mitigate risks across the product lifecycle. You will support root cause investigations, drive continuous improvement of reliability methods, and provide data-driven insights to inform design decisions in a highly regulated, cross-functional environment.
