  • You are a collaborative technical leader who communicates clearly, thinks at the system level, and can balance patient safety, product performance, compliance, schedule, and business needs in a fast-paced engineering environment.
• You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

This is an office role.
