In this exciting role as a Global UNiD Quality, Process, and Training Engineer you will have responsibility for working collaboratively with the Global UNiD management team to 1. develop a systematic training process for the global UNiD lab team, 2. development of deep technical expertise and knowledge of factors affecting spine quality, planning variability, and objective quality, 3. ongoing documentation and updating of standard operating procedures focused on the surgical planning process, 4. R&D projects focused on surgical planning, optimization of workflow, quality, and process redesign. This role is critical as we grow and scales this business across the full cranial and spinal technologies business globally.
Our goal is focused yet complex, to transform spine surgery by putting personalized, actionable data technology in the hands of every surgeon and patient. We provide adaptive surgical planning, patient specific solutions, and data analytics to enable surgeons and patients to make and execute data-driven decisions.
About UNiD
Our systems-based technology platform is built to support surgeon work by harnessing the power of Adaptive Spine Intelligence™. We consult with the surgical team to integrate UNiD™ ASI seamlessly into the surgical planning process.
There are three areas of focus for the UNiD technology: planning services, personalized implants, and predictive modeling
UNiD LAB ™ is our team of biomedical engineers who work collaboratively with surgeons to simulate surgical strategies and technologies using proprietary data and algorithms with detailed outcome reporting.
UNiD ™ TEK is our range of patient-specific implants delivered just-in-time for surgery. Surgeons can focus on the patient with the optimized implant solutions ready before stepping foot into the operating room.
UNiD™ HUB is our software interface. It digests scientific data to generate intelligent surgical planning through machine learning while simultaneously allowing surgeons to perform detailed, custom analyses of their cases and manage the entire workflow from pre-op to post-op phase.
We believe that when people from different cultures, genders, and points of view come together, innovation is the result —and everyone wins. Medtronic walks the walk, creating an inclusive culture where you can thrive.
