Job Description
Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology dedicated to alleviating pain, restoring health, and extending life. With a workforce of over 95,000 employees spanning more than 150 countries, Medtronic puts patients first by developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of over 72 million patients annually. Our mission-driven approach focuses on creating a meaningful impact in healthcare through cutting-edge solutions and collaborations with healthcare professionals worldwide.
Within Medtronic's expansive organization, the Neuroscience division plays a critical role in advancing treatment for some of the most complex neurological and spinal conditions. This is achieved by integrating innovative technology, leveraging data-driven insights, and applying clinical expertise to improve patient care throughout their treatment journey. The Cranial & Spinal Technologies (CST) operating unit is a pivotal part of this mission, developing advanced surgical care solutions for spine and cranial conditions. CST offers an integrated ecosystem of implants, navigation systems, robotics, imaging, and planning tools, enhancing precision and efficiency in complex procedures worldwide. Platforms such as AiBLE reflect our commitment to using sophisticated technology to drive better outcomes in neurological and spinal surgery.
We are currently seeking a Senior Quality Engineer to join our dynamic cross-functional team within the Spine and Biologics Portfolio of the CST operating unit. This role is vital to maintaining and advancing the high standards of quality, integrity, and reliability that our cranial and spinal medical technologies are known for. The Senior Quality Engineer will lead and coordinate quality assurance efforts across multidisciplinary teams, ensuring strict compliance with regulatory requirements and driving continuous improvement throughout the entire product lifecycle.
As a Senior Quality Engineer, you will partner intimately with internal departments and external contract manufacturers to optimize quality processes and strengthen product performance. Your responsibilities will include the development and maintenance of quality records such as design history files, risk management documentation, and change requests. You will also spearhead key activities like product acceptance, supplier list coordination, supplier-owned quality deployment, and production parts approval processes. Acting as the technical liaison between contract manufacturers and Medtronic sites, you will devise and implement inspection and testing procedures to guarantee the precision, accuracy, and stability of our products and production equipment.
The role requires vigilant monitoring of parts through development and production stages, resolving quality issues promptly, including leading nonconformance assessments, investigations, and corrective and preventive actions. Collaborative engagement with global functions and contract manufacturers will be crucial to ensure that suppliers continuously meet good manufacturing practices (GMP) and quality standards. This role is based in Memphis, Tennessee and requires onsite presence four days a week, supporting our culture of bold ideas, rapid decision-making, and patient-first innovation.
Joining Medtronic as a Senior Quality Engineer offers an opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking surgical technologies that change lives. You will be part of a mission that goes beyond traditional quality assurance by directly influencing patient safety and outcomes on a global scale. Your expertise and leadership will be instrumental in driving Medtronic’s commitment to excellence within the CST unit and advancing the future of healthcare technology.
