Catheter Builder
Minnesota Jobs, Minneapolis, MN, United States
Now Hiring: R&D Catheter Assemblers
Build the future of medical devices in a true R&D and pre-production environment. This role is ideal for experienced catheter builders who enjoy variety, problem-solving, and working closely with engineers as new products are developed, tested, iterated, and refined.
If you thrive in settings where no two weeks look exactly the same and you're comfortable flexing with project needs, this could be a great long-term fit.

What You'll Do
Build and support prototype and pre-production catheter assemblies in a cleanroom
Perform full catheter builds and sub-assemblies using detailed work instructions
Work under microscopes with precision hand tools
Execute processes including bonding, annealing, braiding, reflow, liner stretching, and stringing
Conduct visual inspections and support final packaging as needed
Accurately document work in QMS and ERP systems
Collaborate with engineers and teammates as designs evolve
What You Bring
34+ years of hands-on catheter build experience
Strong experience in:
Bonding, annealing, braiding
Reflow, liner stretching, stringing
Comfortable working under a microscope with small, delicate components
