We are building a world class global R&D capability to support our future innovation, while helping champion the accessibility of sensing technologies. This role offers an individual to lead with purpose and empathy by breaking down the barriers to create a connected, compassionate world.
As a Medical Device Process Integration engineer within the R&D function you will have an opportunity to lead the development, integration and optimization of advanced manufacturing processes for next‑generation products. You will serve as a technical bridge between advanced technology, R&D and operations developing processes that drive scalability and high‑yield solutions. An opportunity within this role is to understand processes from concept to commercialization. This role is critical to ensuring manufacturability, reliability, and regulatory compliance across complex, multi‑step high volume processes.
Where You Come In
Manufacturing Process Development: Architect and implement advanced manufacturing processes, equipment, and fixtures for new products and technologies. Lead design to manufacturing transfers and enable scalable production systems.
Process Optimization and Integration: Define, develop, and own complex flows to enhance performance, yield and reliability. Conduct experiments (DOE) and leverage statistical analysis tools to identify areas of improvement and drive down costs.
Quality and Regulatory Compliance: Create critical documentation such as Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (pFMEA) and control plans. Develop and execute process validation protocols and ensure process meets and adheres to regulatory compliance, including FDA 21 CFR 820, ISO 13485 and EU MDR.
Problem Solving: Lead cross‑functional teams in root cause investigations and CAPA resolution for high volume systems, driving measurable improvements in yield and reliability. Proactive leadership to resolve process‑related issues during development.
Collaboration and Leadership: Work closely with cross‑functional teams, including R&D, Quality, Operations and Regulatory to meet project goals. Communicate technical information and provide expertise to stakeholders, including executive leadership.
Advanced Technology Integration: Drive integration of emerging technologies (IoT, robotics, automation) to enable smart manufacturing systems aligned with Dexcom innovation roadmap.
What Makes You Successful
You have an advanced degree (PhD preferred) in Electrical, Mechanical, Biomedical, or Materials Engineering, with deep expertise in process development and integration.
You bring proven experience in medical device or high‑tech manufacturing, with a proven track record of launching complex products into high‑volume production. Proven experience in leading and managing high‑performance teams is highly desired.
You are fluent in Six Sigma, lean manufacturing and structured problem‑solving methodologies, with a hands‑on experience in process validation and statistical analysis tools like JMP.
You understand the full product lifecycle – from concept to commercialization – and navigate quality systems and frameworks including FDA QSR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971 and EU MDR with confidence.
You communicate with clarity and executive presence, translating technical insights into actionable strategies for diverse stakeholders.
You mentor emerging engineers and foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and technical excellence.
You have strong 3D CAD software (SolidWorks) and process simulation tools, enabling rapid prototyping and scalable design transfer.
You embrace change and lead with empathy – adapting to evolving needs, championing accessibility, and driving purpose‑driven innovation.
