As a Software Development Engineer in Test, you will be asked to test the next generation of our product. This is a hands-on role which requires coding. Our product suite spans from medical devices that a patient wears, to mobile apps, up to our back-end servers, so this is a challenging task, and one that requires very critical thinking to ensure the system performs well. The best candidates will be ‘engineers’ – critical thinkers who solve problems efficiently, pragmatically, and continually seek information from all sources.
This position is an exciting opportunity to work with Medtronic's Diabetes business. Medtronic has announced its intention to separate the Diabetes division to promote future growth and innovation within the business and reallocate investments and resources across Medtronic, subject to applicable information and consultation requirements. This separation provides our team with a bold opportunity to unleash our potential, enabling us to operate with greater speed and agility. As a separate entity, we anticipate leveraging increased investments to drive meaningful innovation and enhance our impact on patient care.
