PRINCIPAL REGULATORY AFFAIRS SPECIALIST (Remote)
Join a diverse team of innovators who bring their worldview, their unique backgrounds, and their individual life experiences to work every day. It's no accident -we work hard to cultivate a workforce that reflects our patients and partners. We believe it's the only way to drive healthcare forward and remain a global leader in medical technology and solutions.
Careers That Change Lives
The Principal Regulatory Affairs Specialist will play a key role in launching new products and sustaining the current product portfolio. As a new product development (NPD) core team member, the principal specialist works directly with the NPD team from the concept phase through commercialization. The principal specialist has primary responsibility for compliance with US and EU regulatory requirements and partners with the international regulatory affairs group to support regulatory submissions worldwide for electrosurgical devices (e.g., electrosurgical generators, vessel sealing devices). Sustaining regulatory responsibilities include reviewing product labeling changes to ensure that regulatory requirements continue to be met, documenting "no file" decisions, reviewing promotional materials, and ensuring that our product technical documentation is current and accurate. This position is most suited for individuals with a broad background covering the total regulatory life cycle of medical devices and strong working knowledge and experience with reviewing advertising and promotional materials for medical devices.
A Day in the Life
Together, we can change healthcare worldwide. At Medtronic, we push the limits of what technology, therapies and services can do to help alleviate pain, restore health and extend life. We challenge ourselves and each other to make tomorrow better than yesterday. It is what makes this an exciting and rewarding place to be.
We want to accelerate and advance our ability to create meaningful innovations - but we will only succeed with the right people on our team. Let's work together to address universal healthcare needs and improve patients' lives. Help us shape the future.
