Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact.

At Medtronic, improving global healthcare is our priority. The team is seeking a Senior Systems Test Engineer to join a fast‑paced R&D organization focused on developing innovative medical devices. This role will work across systems, mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing teams to define and drive system‑level test strategies that support product development and readiness for production.

As a Senior Systems Test Engineer, this role will provide technical leadership for system‑level verification, integration, and test development activities for complex electromechanical products. The ideal candidate is a mechanically strong engineer who can independently develop test strategy with limited coaching, design and build fixtures using CAD tools such as Solid Works, and work effectively across hardware and software interfaces to enable efficient development and manufacturing testing.

• Lead testing activities on medical device hardware and system‑level development projects, including planning, execution, analysis, and documentation.
• Create project‑specific test strategies and approaches based on system requirements, risk management, and product development needs.
• Design, develop, maintain, and validate test fixtures, benchtop setups, and test environments used for development, verification, and manufacturing‑related testing.
• Create, maintain, execute, and document test plans, protocols, test cases, and reports, ensuring work is traceable and aligned with applicable quality system requirements.
• Provide test‑focused input to requirements and design reviews, and use this understanding to develop test strategies, methods, and fixtures; contribute to integration activities and defect investigations as needed.
• Design and implement automated or semi‑automated testing using LabVIEW and/or basic scripting tools to improve test efficiency and repeatability.
• Support hardware test needs by working with instrumentation, interfaces, and simple board‑level test concepts; support or learn basic PCB design tools such as Altium when needed for test hardware.
• Troubleshoot, debug, maintain, and support existing products, test methods, and test equipment; participate in defect tracking, root‑cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Partner with manufacturing and advanced manufacturing engineering teams to support development and transfer of test methods, fixtures, and production‑oriented test approaches.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to other test engineers or junior team members, contribute to broader test strategy discussions, and identify process improvements across the team.
• Effectively communicate findings, issues, and recommendations to project teams and stakeholders, and perform all work in compliance with the Quality System and applicable environmental, health, and safety requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Science with 5+ years of experience, or advanced degree in Engineering or Science with 3+ years of experience in medical device or other regulated product development.
• Demonstrated experience developing and executing system‑level test strategies, verification plans, and test documentation for complex electromechanical products.
• Hands‑on experience testing at least one shipped, transferred, or production‑intent hardware product.
• Strong mechanical aptitude with experience designing, building, and troubleshooting test fixtures, lab setups, and benchtop test equipment.
• Proficiency with CAD tools such as Solid Works for fixture design and development.
• Ability to independently…
