About the company
At MiniMed, you can begin a lifelong career of exploration and innovation, while helping make a difference in the lives of people living with diabetes around the globe. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation for a more connected, compassionate world.
About the Role
At MiniMed, every product we build has one purpose — to help people living with diabetes live healthier, safer, and more fulfilling lives. As a Senior Quality Engineer on our team, you will be at the heart of making that possible.

You will collaborate closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and cross-functional teams to build robust process controls, reduce variation, and champion a culture of continuous improvement — all within a highly regulated environment governed by FDA, ISO 13485, and 21 CFR Part 820 requirements.
This is not just a quality role — it is an opportunity to directly influence the safety and reliability of life-changing medical technology.
