About the role

Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact. A Day in the Life Medtronic Digital Technologies is creating ambitious new products that bring connectivity, real-time guidance, and decision support to the operating room. To support this mission, we are developing compact, high-performance, embedded systems that enable edge computing and connectivity. Working closely with other teams across Medtronic, we are creating a connected ecosystem and leveraging the state of the art in computer vision to provide the most comprehensive view of surgery. If you’re interested in using cutting-edge technology to improve the standard of care in surgery on a global scale, this could be the place for you. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be performing development, primarily in modern C++, helping to expand the services offered by our existing and new generation of devices, while ensuring the codebase is maintainable. Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned: • Work within our highly technically diverse multidisciplinary teams (application software, embedded, cloud platform, etc.).  • Contribute to the core application software by developing enhancements for our existing intra-operative devices. • Take ownership of the maintainability and reliability of the application software in our existing intra-operative devices and helping develop the software stack for our next generation intra-operative devices.  • Maintain and enhance methods for device monitoring and cloud connectivity.  • Investigate, debug, and resolve issues reported from testing and support.  • Participate in the relevant security and regulatory compliance processes.  • Develop robust and secure-by-design software fit for a medical-grade system.  • Must be able to commute frequently to London-based office; 2 days per week onsite. Required Knowledge and Experience: • BS/MS in Computer, Electrical, Electronics Engineering or equivalent.  • Minimum 2 or 3 years of relevant industry experience. • Current experience in developing high quality, high performing code in modern C++ (C++17 and higher).  • Strong knowledge of Unix/Linux environments.  • Experience with inter-process communication frameworks (gRPC, DDS, Zenoh etc.).  • Experience working with deployed hardware systems and remote device management.  • Experience with unit testing using methodologies like Test-Driven Development (TDD), including proficiency with testing frameworks such as Google Test (gtest) or similar tools.  • Flexible - you can independently solve problems as they arise but are comfortable asking for help when you need it.  • Comfortable with complexity – being able to think through consequences of changes in a highly interconnected ecosystem over varied use environments.  • A high level of code craftsmanship and focus on quality.  Preferred skills include experience with GUI frameworks like React or Qt, and familiarity with regulated industries such as medical devices, automotive, finance, or aerospace. Knowledge of AWS, systems engineering principles, and core security concepts is also valued.   Physical Job Requirements The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by employees assigned to this position, but they are not an exhaustive list of all the required responsibilities and sk
