The
Distinguished Engineer is a technical visionary and subject matter expert responsible for shaping the future of implantable sensor technology within Heart Failure Management. Working across a multi-generational product portfolio, this leader drives innovation, system performance, manufacturability, and commercialization strategy while influencing product roadmaps, advancing technology platforms, and solving complex engineering challenges that directly improve patient lives worldwide.
How you'll make an impact:- Own heart failure management implantable MEMS sensor end to end to new product introduction.
- Drive complex design components, automated equipment, imbedded software and circuit tuning as it relates to manufacturability products and processes of the system all the way to commercialization.
- Develop complex documentation for manufacturing such as drawings, SOPs, routers, pFMEAs at various levels of release. Assure drawing review processes and responsibility for tolerance stack up compliance. Responsible for fit testing of design parts and fixtures in alignment with next level manufacturing expectation from Pilot to Commercial.
- Develop complex training and documentation materials such as functional testing of MEMS, full sensors, laser welding, wire bond, laser trimming, hermetic sealing and testing and complex circuit tuning.
- Lead strategy, prioritization, and technical support for QST, pre DV, DV - SME to Pilot on root cause investigations for manufacturing processes.
- Drive improvements and support new technology in development of manufacturing equipment engineering and tooling design for the team. Support advanced root cause analysis upon request to assess complaints, field failures, or supplier issues.
What you'll need:- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Scientific fields with 12 years of experience providing technical leadership for highly complex electronic systems in a highly regulated environment.
- Expertise in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) based technologies, signal processing, system integration, and product development.
- Travel up to 25% domestically and internationally.
What else we look for:- PhD or Master's degree in Bioengineering, Industrial Engineering, Material Science, Chemistry, Physics, or related.
- Proven expertise in the application of MEMS sensors within complex medical device systems, from concept through commercialization.
- Experience developing and commercializing implantable medical technologies, including cardiac rhythm management, diabetes management, neuromodulation, or other electronic therapeutic and diagnostic systems.
- Strong knowledge of implantable device manufacturing, including sensor integration onto printed circuit boards (PCBs), packaging, and long-term reliability considerations for in vivo use.
- Hands-on experience with advanced manufacturing and assembly technologies, such as laser welding, wire bonding, micro assembly techniques, and electronic testing methodologies.
- Expertise in electronic system manufacturing, including PCB-level assembly, verification, validation, and production-scale testing.
