Sr. Electrical Engineer

We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 16 Nov 2026   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 The Affera Mapping and Ablation System is an innovative medical technology designed to treat patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The system involves advanced mapping techniques to create detailed images of the heart's electrical activity, helping physicians identify abnormal areas causing arrhythmias. Once identified, the Affera Ablation System delivers targeted energy to disrupt these abnormal signals, restoring normal heart rhythm. This will be an onsite position in Newton, MA.                     As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader and expert in designing, developing, and integrating complex electrical systems for Medtronic's innovative cardiac mapping and ablation products. This role provides a unique opportunity to work on challenging projects, mentor team members, and contribute directly to life-changing technologies.
