R&D Engineer II

30-ENGINEERING & R&D Full Time Professional Plymouth, MN, US

Salary Range: $93,757.00 To $ Annually

As a Pro Med employee, you will contribute to the manufacture of products that have a significant impact on people’s lives. Through honesty, integrity, and collaboration, we strive to be the very best as we hire the very best.

Pro Med was founded in 1989 addressing an industry need for cleanroom manufacturing of silicone components, specifically those having a medical application. We treat every component and finished device as though it will be used by a beloved family member or friend. We are dedicated to our customers and to our employees while helping to improve the health and well-being of people around the world.

Working as one to help many.

The mission of this role is to accelerate the commercialization of innovative medical devices by developing robust, scalable manufacturing processes that ensure product quality and regulatory compliance. This position drives organizational competitiveness by reducing development cycle times and enabling seamless technology transfer from prototype to full-scale production. Through rigorous process validation and yield optimization, the role minimizes manufacturing risks while maintaining the stringent quality standards required in medical device manufacturing.

Additionally, this position strengthens organizational capability by fostering cross-functional collaboration and building technical expertise across teams, ultimately supporting sustained growth and operational excellence in bringing life-improving medical technologies to market.

While the ways that you fulfill these responsibilities will likely evolve, your core responsibilities are:

Develop innovative manufacturing processes and technologies to enable successful commercialization of new medical device products, resulting in reduced time-to-market and enhanced manufacturing scalability

On average this should be about 30% of your time. Among other things this means we expect you to:

• Determine equipment requirements and contribute to capital expansion project development
• Assess process capabilities and implement new processes for moderately complex molded components and assemblies
• Apply design for manufacturability principles to translate customer requirements into feasible product specifications
• Optimize manufacturing processes to support scale-up of new technologies from prototype to production

Lead technical research and prototype projects to meet customer requirements and delivery commitments, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and on-time project completion

On average this should be about 25% of your time. Among other things this means we expect you to:

• Oversee development builds associated with assigned projects
• Manage technical research projects from initiation through completion, meeting objectives for delivery and quality
• Report on project progress at regular intervals to stakeholders and management
• Collaborate with customers to recommend appropriate studies and support product development needs

Mitigate manufacturing and project risks through technical expertise and contingency planning, resulting in reduced production issues and improved process reliability

On average this should be about 20% of your time. Among other things this means we expect you to:

• Apply internal and external customer requirements throughout development activities
• Predict technical interactions based on manufacturing process knowledge and provide contingency plans
• Implement established industry practices for equipment and manufacturing that are new to Pro Med
• Provide design for manufacturability input to tool design processes
