Medtronic
Overview
We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 10 Oct 2025 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 The Senior Product Security Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring the security of Medtronic Surgical Operating Unit medical device solutions. Reporting to the Director of Product Security, this role supports the integration of advanced cybersecurity measures, identifies and mitigates potential vulnerabilities, and contributes to initiatives that improve cyber-resiliency throughout the product lifecycle. You will serve as a technical subject matter expert and mentor, collaborating across teams and contributing to long-term improvements in our security posture. Careers that Change Lives In this engineering-focused role, you will join a world-class team of systems, mechanical, electrical, software, and quality engineers within Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit (OU). The Surgical OU brings together the people and portfolios of Surgical Robotics and Surgical Innovations to advance surgical care through robotics, surgical energy technologies, and digital solutions. This role focuses on cybersecurity for medical devices and embedded systems. It is not an IT security, compliance, or GRC-focused position. The ideal candidate will have deep experience working with engineering teams to integrate cybersecurity into real-time systems, embedded firmware, connected devices, or other product-level security contexts. With the Medtronic Mission as our North Star, we build on our legacy of proven surgical solutions and continue advancing the promise of robotics and digital technologies to improve outcomes for our customers and patients. Make your impact by exploring a career with the world’s leading Medical Device company, striving “to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life.” A Day in The Life The Senior Product Security Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring the security of Medtronic Surgical Operating Unit medical device solutions.

Contribute to OU and enterprise-wide product security strategy and roadmap development. Secure Product Development Lifecycle - Drive security integration into all stages of the product lifecycle, from concept and design to postmarket. Work closely with system architects, software leads, and hardware engineers to embed secure design patterns in both embedded and cloud-connected environments. Threat Modeling & Risk Assessment - Lead or contribute to threat modeling sessions, conduct security risk assessments, and identify mitigation strategies in accordance with IEC 81001-5-1, ISO 14971, and FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance. Security Architecture & Design - Collaborate on the design and implementation of secure architectures, focusing on secure boot, secure communications, data protection, access control, secure software updates, and hardware-software integration. Security Testing & Analysis - Support and interpret results from vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and static / dynamic code analysis. Coordinate with internal teams and third-party vendors to ensure timely and appropriate risk mitigation. Security Awareness & Mentorship - Promote a culture of security awareness within R&D and provide support to more junior engineers. Lead by example through documentation, review participation, and active knowledge sharing. Regulatory & Standards Compliance - Ensure alignment with applicable standards (e.g., NIST, IEC 60601-4-5, IEC 81001-5-1) and support security documentation efforts for global regulatory submissions. Vendor & Supply Chain Security - Review and assess the cybersecurity posture of third-party suppliers and open-source software components used within product designs. Incident Response Support – Support technical investigation and resolution of postmarket security incidents or field issues. Lead root cause investigations, containment strategies, and risk assessments. Security Documentation - Maintain comprehensive security documentation, including threat model diagrams, risk assessments, shared service inventories, design patterns, security guidelines, and product security plans / reports. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree and 4 years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree with 2 years of relevant experience Nice to Have Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field of study (e.g., Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related discipline), completed and verified prior to start Minimum 4 years of relevant experience, or 2 years with an advanced degree Minimum 1 year of experience integrating security into embedded systems or connected medical devices in a regulated product development environment Working knowledge of secure development lifecycle (SDLC), secure boot, cryptography, secure firmware update, secure communication, and hardware / software interface security Master’s degree in a relevant engineering or cybersecurity field Industry-recognized certifications (e.g., CISSP, CSSLP, CISM, CEH) Experience supporting or mentoring junior security engineers Demonstrated ability to implement secure architecture in embedded and connected device ecosystems Familiarity with FDA and MDR cybersecurity submission requirements Knowledge of secure coding practices and common vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP, CWE, CVSS) Experience participating in cross-functional design reviews or formal design assurance processes Working knowledge of secure boot chains, cryptographic controls, and device authentication protocols Physical Job Requirements The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by employees assigned to this position, but they are not an exhaustive list of all the required responsibilities and skills of this position.
