      Senior R&D Engineer Interview

      Aug 29, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Medtronic

      Interview

      Met with HR first then two interviews on site and toured the facility. Later on did another multi interview session over Zoom with three people (not all at once). Mostly behavioral questions and questions about experience, don’t think there were any technical ME questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked classic questions like strengths and weaknesses. Also asked me about how I would apply my experience there since I didn’t have much med device experience previously.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Medtronic (Santa Rosa, CA) in Oct 2009

      Interview

      My phone interview probably lasted about 10 minutes with a talent manager. They asked about my medical device experience (I've a PhD in biomedical engineering but have only a year of industry experience). I think they were looking for experience with a very specific device which I did not have. The recruiter seemed a little disorganized, possible as if they were just trying to get through a high volume of calls with lesser attention placed on the interview content. No emphasis on my abilities, just my experiences. A challenge because my PhD research did not seem to impress. They asked me where else at Medtronic I thought I would fit in, and said they would call back in a few days with alternative opportunities. I felt okay at the time - as if they were interested in me but wanted to find a better fit. However, they never called back and have not responded to my follow up.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What medical devices do you have experience with?

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Medtronic in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Two hour teams call with six team members. They asked great questions about my experience and let me ask questions about theirs, Deep dived into everyone's role and how the collaboration works. More to see compatibility.

      Application

      I interviewed at Medtronic (Santa Rosa, CA)

      Interview

      Very Smooth process, but decision took a while and required lots of follow up. It seems that they had many candidates lined up for an interview. Overall, I had a positive experience.

      Describe your experience with medical devices
