Careers that Change Lives

Medtronic supports diversity networks and ERGs focused on various areas such as gender, ethnicity, age, faith, sexual orientation, military veteran status, disability status, and other shared affinities.

Medtronic pioneered the field of neuromodulation with the first commercially available spinal cord stimulator to treat chronic pain and engineered the first deep brain stimulation (DBS) system to treat movement disorders and the first implantable drug pump to deliver medication directly to the intrathecal space of the spine. More than 40 years later, we continue to innovate, constantly challenging ourselves to disrupt the markets we created. We advance science by thinking and acting boldly, bringing together the right people with the right breadth of expertise to engineer groundbreaking therapies and technologies.
