Senior Quality Engineer

Job description

Luna Health created Sleep-Only Automation — automated insulin delivery that works while you sleep and disappears when you wake. We're a venture-backed medical device startup that makes the world’s smallest insulin patch pump, solving the biggest problem in all of diabetes - nighttime glucose control for Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes insulin users who manage their days well and have made a considered choice to stay on pens.
