Meet the team:You will join Dexcom's Product Development organization, where we push the boundaries of continuous glucose monitoring technology through innovation in materials, process engineering, and device design. This role sits at the core of design realization-bridging early concept development with scalable, high-volume manufacturing.
As a Senior Staff Process Engineer, you will help shape next-generation products by driving advances in precision materials processing, while embedding Dexcom's
Product & Process Excellence principles-our integrated approach to Lean, Six Sigma, and critical parameter management (CPM)-into development from the ground up.
Where you come in: - Provide a summary of specific job duties and responsibilities in addition to basic summary information listed above.
- You lead process technology development strategies that enable next-generation product architectures, including smaller form factors and tighter tolerances.
- You drive design realization by aligning product requirements with process capability and manufacturing strategy.
- You influence product design through DFx (DFM, DFA, DFR) insights, leveraging deep process understanding and trade-off analysis.
- You develop and scale advanced processes for micro-dispensing, bonding, and encapsulation of adhesives, epoxies, and soft materials.
- You architect and execute process characterization strategies, including DOE, multivariate analysis, and statistically rigorous experimentation.
- You define and manage CPPs, CQAs, process windows, and control strategies using Product & Process Excellence methodologies.
- You ensure processes are designed for scalability, robustness, and high-volume manufacturability early in development.
- You lead design verification (DV) readiness, including process definition, risk mitigation, and capability demonstration.
- You establish metrology and inspection strategies aligned to micro-scale feature requirements and tolerance validation.
- You lead cross-functional collaboration across R&D, quality, reliability, and manufacturing, serving as a key technical voice in design reviews.
What makes you successful: - You bring deep expertise in adhesives, epoxies, soft materials, or other precision material systems used in high-performance devices.
- You have strong experience in design realization and process-driven product development within R&D environments.
- You demonstrate advanced proficiency in DOE, process capability analysis, and statistical modeling.
- You have a track record of developing scalable, high-precision processes for complex product architectures.
- You apply Product & Process Excellence principles (Lean, Six Sigma, CPM) to drive process capability, variation reduction, and manufacturability.
- You possess strong knowledge of process-material interactions and their impact on performance and reliability.
- You effectively influence cross-functional teams and mentor engineers in process characterization and technical rigor.
- You communicate complex technical concepts clearly and drive alignment across engineering disciplines.
- You have experience in industries such as semiconductor, advanced packaging, displays, or high-resolution wearable devices (nice to have).
What you'll get: - A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. Learn about our brave #dexcomwarriors community.
- A full and comprehensive benefits program.
- Growth opportunities on a global scale.
- Access to career development through in-house learning programs and/or qualified tuition reimbursement.
- An exciting and innovative, industry-leading organization committed to our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.
Travel Required: Experience and Education Requirements:- Typically requires a Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline, and a minimum of 13+ years related experience or a Master's degree and 8+ years equivalent industry experience of a PhD and 5+ years of experience.
