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. The Diabetes Operating Unit focuses on improving the lives of those within the global diabetes community. As a business, we strive to empower people with diabetes to live life on their terms by delivering innovation that truly matters and providing support in the ways they need it. We’re committed to meeting people with diabetes where they are in their journey, always with an aim to make their lives easier. Our portfolio of innovative solutions are designed to provide customers greater freedom and better health, helping them achieve better glucose control, while spending less time managing their disease. Join a diverse team of innovators who bring their worldview, their unique backgrounds, and their individual life experiences to work every day. It’s no accident —we work hard to cultivate a workforce that reflects our patients and partners. We believe it’s the only way to drive healthcare forward and remain a global leader in medical technology and solutions. We are looking for a motivated individual with strong analytical skills to join our team. The position involves research and development of algorithms related to glucose sensing and insulin therapy technology. The individual will work with members of the algorithm team to improve the performance of therapy algorithms through the application of machine learning and advanced signal processing techniques, mathematical modeling, and experimentation. The role will involve all aspects of the R&D process, including data gathering, analysis, theory and algorithm development through to validation for regulatory submissions. A successful candidate will have in-depth technical knowledge of machine learning and signal processing methodologies and would take part in the full cycle of the development process which includes but is not limited to the design, implementation, debugging, testing and integration with other subsystems. Lastly, the candidate will also be involved in the documentation of such algorithms for regulatory submissions both domestically and internationally. This position is an exciting opportunity to work with Medtronic's Diabetes business. Medtronic has announced its intention to separate the Diabetes division to promote future growth and innovation within the business and reallocate investments and resources across Medtronic, subject to applicable information and consultation requirements. This separation provides our team with a bold opportunity to unleash our potential, enabling us to operate with greater speed and agility. As a separate entity, we anticipate leveraging increased investments to drive meaningful innovation and enhance our impact on patient care.
