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.#
** A Day in the Life
** 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.
These roles are onsite 4-days per week in Lafayette, Colorado.
In this exciting role as a Mechanical / R&D Sensor Engineer II, you will help design and develop next‐generation patient monitoring sensors used across critical care environments.

You will contribute throughout the full product lifecycle—from concept exploration and prototyping through verification, validation, and design transfer into manufacturing.

You'll support ongoing development across our product portfolio, including technologies that enable NellcorTM pulse oximetry, INVOSTM regional oximetry, and BISTM depth of anesthesia monitoring solutions.

These roles are ideal for engineers who enjoy hands‐on work, creative problem‐solving, and understanding how products improve patient outcomes.
