Medtronic

Medtronic, the U.S. medical device giant, is laying off approximately 60 employees from its Jerusalem research and development center, which currently has a staff of about 200, representing a 30% reduction at that site. This decision, announced on October 27, 2025, is part of a global restructuring and operational streamlining initiative the company began two years ago. The layoffs specifically affect a department specializing in ventilator systems, which will cease operations, though affected employees may apply for other roles within Medtronic. As one of the world's largest medical technology companies, Medtronic employs around 1,200 people across eight sites in Israel. This follows a previous round of layoffs in Israel in May 2024, reflecting ongoing adjustments within the industry.
