About the role

We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 5 Oct 2026   Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact. A Day in the Life The Acute Care & Monitoring (ACM) business develops technologies that support clinicians in high-acuity environments, including the Operating Room, Intensive Care Unit, and Emergency Department. This role joins the airway management R&D team responsible for developing next-generation hardware-enabled medical devices that integrate electronics, embedded systems, and user-centered design to improve patient care and clinician workflow. Originating from Medtronic’s acquisition of Aircraft Medical, the team combines focused product innovation with the scale and resources of a global medical technology organization. This position is located at the Medtronic Lafayette, Colorado campus and is an onsite role. The role works closely with hardware, firmware, mechanical, systems, quality, and clinical partners throughout the product development lifecycle, from concept development through verification and design transfer.                     As a Hardware Engineer, you will support the development of embedded electronic hardware for airway management products used in acute care environments. Contribute to the design, prototyping, verification, and integration of electronic systems while working under the guidance of experienced engineers. The role provides hands-on exposure to circuit design, printed circuit board development, laboratory testing, and medical device product development within a cross-functional engineering team. Primary Responsibilities • Develop electronic schematics and printed circuit board (PCB) layouts following established design standards and engineering review processes. • Perform component selection, datasheet analysis, bill of materials (BOM) maintenance, and engineering change documentation. • Conduct circuit calculations, simulations, and technical evaluations to support design verification and reliability objectives. • Build, modify, and troubleshoot prototype hardware using laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, logic analyzers, and electronic loads. • Support board bring-up, fault isolation, and hardware-software integration activities for embedded systems. • Execute verification testing, environmental evaluations, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) pre-compliance activities while maintaining design documentation and traceability. • Create test reports, design records, and technical documentation supporting quality, risk management, and product development requirements. • Collaborate with firmware, systems, mechanical, quality, suppliers, and manufacturing partners to resolve technical issues and improve product designs. Required Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Biomedical Engineering and 0-2 years of hardware design experience, including internships, research projects, or equivalent hands-on engineering work. • Experience completing at least one hardware development cycle from schematic capture through PCB layout, fabrication, and board bring-up. • Experience with communication protocols including Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), or Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART). • Experience using
