Position Summary

The Catheter Process Development Engineer II will develop, optimize, and commercialize robust manufacturing processes for catheter assemblies and similar interventional medical components. As an Engineer II, you will be working within a cross-functional product development team, driving process innovation, ensuring design‑for‑manufacturability, and executing the required engineering deliverables to support successful design transfer and commercial release. The ideal candidate brings hands‑on problem‑solving ability, strong analytical, and experience with catheter or vascular‑access device manufacturing technologies.

We are open to hiring at an Engineer II or Engineer III level. This position will be based out of Fridley, MN with travel to the White Bear Lake, MN site to support project needs.

What You’ll Do Every Day:

• Lead and support the development, characterization, and validation of manufacturing processes for medical devices and components throughout the product development lifecycle, with a likely focus on catheter related projects
• Apply structured problem‑solving and critical thinking to define process strategies, resolve complex technical challenges, and make data‑driven decisions.
• Utilize engineering tools such as DOE, pFMEA/PFMEA, DFM principles, capability studies, and statistical analysis to characterize and improve processes.
• Develop clear, well‑supported documentation including process validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ), engineering studies, technical rationales, risk documentation, and process development reports.
• Own process development workstreams, including timeline management, technical execution, communication of status, and risk mitigation.
• Work hands‑on with production technicians and operators to diagnose issues, improve yields, and implement sustainable production solutions.
• Contribute to the selection and qualification of equipment, tooling, fixtures, and automation solutions to support manufacturing scale‑up.
• Mentor junior engineers and interns; cultivate a culture of constructive feedback, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Support cross‑functional teams including Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Regulatory in preparing for commercialization and design transfer.
• Other duties may be assigned as required.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor degree in Engineering or related field required; master’s degree in engineering or related technical field preferred.
• Minimum 2 years of relevant experience required, 5 years of experience required for Engineer III; 1 year of relevant work experience may be substituted for a graduate degree and 3 years for a doctorate degree.
• Demonstrated knowledge of process development engineering and catheter‑specific manufacturing equipment (braiding, reflow, tipping), materials (e.g., Pebax, nylon, PTFE liners and coatings), or bonding technologies.
• Proficiency in statistical analysis and data‑driven decision making.
• Experience with process validation, IQ/OQ/PQ execution, and engineering deliverables required for medical device development.
• Ability to manage and communicate technical workstreams, provide technical leadership, and collaborate across functions.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to diverse audiences including management, operators, and customers.
• Demonstrated leadership and commitment to continuous improvement.
