Meet the team:

We are a high-impact, service-oriented Pilot Manufacturing team at Dexcom, partnering closely with R&D to bring new technologies to life. Our scope spans manufacturing of R&D studies, engineering and equipment support, procurement, and production planning and control—bridging development and full-scale production.

Our mission is to leverage our technical expertise and teamwork to build exceptional products and accelerate them to market. Our purpose is to learn fast, define scalable processes, and enable clinical success through reliable execution.

What makes this team unique is our direct partnership with R&D as our primary partner.

You will partner with manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain leadership to close performance gaps and deliver against aggressive R&D timelines.
You will own Inventory and WIP across the value stream inclusive of procurement activities, driving resolution of bottlenecks and improving throughput and cycle time.
You will drive continuous improvement of metrics, reporting, and execution processes to increase predictability and readiness for scale.
You will oversee prioritization and execution of exception management and other risks to build schedules, ensuring resources are aligned to critical needs.
You will influence cross-functional decision-making (supply chain, finance, engineering) through data-driven insights on performance, capacity, and material strategy.
