You will report to the Director of R&D. This is a growing division of a large, well-established company. They are located N.E. of the Twin Cities.

What you will be doing:

• Most of this position is spent engaging directly with both internal and external customers to gain technical specification and application information to produce new medical cable designs/drawings and create costing for project requests. Your cable designs will be for surgical tools/robotics, medical imaging devices/equipment, or equipment in surgical suites.
• You will also be responsible for creating custom cable products for other industry verticals, requiring a versatile mindset and ability to apply design skills to other applications outside of medical.
