  • Hands-on experience with laboratory instrumentation, power measurement equipment, and system characterization tools.

  • Experience writing test plans, verification procedures, requirements documentation, and technical presentations for diverse audiences.

  • Ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams and independently drive technical investigations from problem identification through resolution.

What you’ll get:

  • A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. Learn about our brave #dexcomwarriors community.
