Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Quality Engineer I to support a leading medical device client in Maple Grove, MN. The Quality Engineer I will join an R&D Systems Test team supporting the development of current and next-generation interventional cardiology imaging catheter technologies. This position is transitioning from Design Quality into R&D to align engineering talent more closely with early-stage product development and give the team greater influence on product design. The engineer will work alongside approximately 5 to 7 engineers of varying experience levels and 2 to 3 technicians, while also collaborating with cross-functional partners in Design Assurance, Project Management, and Regulatory.

The role will be approximately 50% computer-based programming and data analysis and 50% hands-on testing and evaluation in a laboratory environment. Day to day, the engineer will use Python or other programming tools to automate testing, perform post-test and visual data analysis, and communicate technical findings. They will also develop and validate test methods, create test fixtures and experimental setups, execute design verification testing, troubleshoot technical issues, and support prototype and commercial product evaluations. Additional responsibilities include writing protocols, procedures, and technical reports that document product performance and provide objective evidence that design requirements have been met.
