Careers that Change Lives

The Respiratory Intervention Operating Unit delivers solutions and products that prevent the onset and improve the management of respiratory failure. The position will be based in the Mallinkrodt Dar production plant in Mirandola, which is part of Machined Implantable, Capital and Disposable Operations cluster.

As R&D Sustaining Engineering Manager, reporting directly to the Senior Engineering Director, you will be responsible for managing the Sustaining Engineering team that has design responsibility for the Respiratory Interventions Breathing Systems products.

This position is an exciting and new opportunity to work with Medtronic’s Patient Monitoring, Respiratory Interventions and/or Medical Care Management Systems businesses. Currently a part of Medtronic, these businesses are being transitioned either into a new stand-alone company (currently referred to as NewCo) or will be merged into the business of another company. While you will start your employment with Medtronic, upon establishment of NewCo or upon the transition of the business unit to another company, in approximately 12-15 months (if we can designate timing; this was in the public announcement) your employment will transfer to one of these entities and you will no longer be employed by Medtronic.

The business will have the same singular focus, financial commitment, deep domain expertise, and global footprint needed to accelerate the development and commercialization of affordable and scalable healthcare technologies.
