The Principles That Guide Our Work
We make every day matter
Making a meaningful impact on day-to-day patient quality of life unites us as a team — and with our collaborators. Our work each day shapes the future of patients, business, and Nextern.
We are in it together
We are responsible for what happens here – making improvements and sharing in success. Our unique energy is unmistakable as we have fun, care about one another, and build a place where we can all grow and produce great work.
We innovate to impact
We focus our thoughts, time and actions on prosperous innovation to impact the market, the quality, the patient outcome, and the bottom line.
We show up and deliver
Be it an innovative development project, helping a colleague tackle a problem, or manufacturing quality products, we are fully engaged — and deliver on what we set out to do.
We look for people who can exercise their personal superpowers while living our company principles. Our people find satisfaction in problem solving, collaboration, work variety and learning new skills. If this describes you, and you have the med device experience to back it up, we want to hear from you no matter what.

We vertically integrate design with manufacturing.
Our innovative design and development programs are strong, but great design requires consistent, quality manufacturing at the right price to make it commercially viable. Nextern has you covered at every step while our proprietary online collaboration environment for design and manufacture gives you visibility — from documents to active production runs to quality initiatives. You will experience the Nextern commitment to supply chain and manufacturing excellence with every order.
Manufacturing Flexibility
Nextern maintains wholly-owned manufacturing facilities in both Asia and the U.S., offering source flexibility or a blended approach to meet your specific business needs.
Tightly Managed Supply Chain
Nextern has spent years building strong global supplier relationships, which benefits and de-risks your purchasing from day one. Our global manufacturing locations create redundancies to manage supply risk.
Complete Quality System
We use a robust, easily leveraged quality management system to enable successful medical device development. Our system supports you not just through design and development, but continues to support your post-market quality and manufacturing needs.
