Summary
Jose Padovani is an Engineering Manager with 11 years of multidisciplinary experience leading NPD and sustaining engineering for sensor-driven medical devices, currently managing sensor-based catheter programs at Medtronic. He combines deep technical expertise in MEMS, microfluidics, microfabrication, and implantable wireless sensors with hands-on skills in prototyping, test systems, and data acquisition (LabVIEW, Python, Matlab). Jose has moved projects from concept through pilot production—developing assembly pilot lines, characterization frameworks, and multiple patents in biotechnology and medical devices. At startups and large enterprises alike he bridges electrical, mechanical and systems engineering to deliver regulated products, and has a PhD from Stanford informing his applied research approach. An oft-overlooked strength is his track record of building custom test and DAQ systems that accelerated device qualification and post-market sustaining activities.
