A Day in the Life

At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. In-person exchanges are invaluable to our work. We’re working a minimum of 4 days a week onsite as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary.

         

         

The Principal Electrical Engineer in Cardiac Ablation Solutions (CAS) serves as a recognized technical authority responsible for the architecture, design, verification, and lifecycle support of complex electrical systems used in cardiac mapping and ablation therapies. This role plays a critical leadership function across sustaining engineering, and technology innovation, with a strong emphasis on patient safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation in life-sustaining medical devices. 
 

The principal engineer operates with a high degree of autonomy, providing technical direction across multiple programs, mentoring other engineers, and influencing cross-functional decisions spanning systems engineering, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory teams. 

 

Primary Responsibilities 

• Serve as the electrical subject-matter expert for cardiac ablation platforms, including generators, energy delivery systems, sensing and monitoring circuits, and safety‑critical subsystems. 

• Define and review electrical architectures, requirements, and design strategies to support RF and pulsed field ablation technologies, ensuring robustness under clinical use conditions. 

• Drive trade‑off decisions balancing performance, safety, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and regulatory constraints. 

• Lead or review detailed electrical design activities including high‑voltage circuits, power electronics, sensing and monitoring circuits, isolation schemes, grounding strategies, and EMC‑robust designs. 

• Establish and execute verification and validation strategies, ensuring designs meet functional, safety, and reliability requirements across the product lifecycle. 

• Provide expert input into design reviews, hazard analyses, and failure investigations involving electrical subsystems. 

• Own or strongly influence risk management activities related to electrical hazards, energy delivery, insulation, leakage currents, fault detection, and patient return electrode monitoring. 

• Apply Design for Reliability and Design for Safety principles to identify, reduce, and monitor technical risk in compliance with medical device standards and internal quality systems.  

• Act as a design technical leader across released product engineering, manufacturing, supplier engineering, service, and quality teams. 

• Support sustaining engineering activities including root‑cause analysis of field issues, design changes, component obsolescence, and manufacturing process improvements. 

• Interface with external suppliers and partners to ensure continuity of supply and technical alignment with system requirements.  

• Mentor and technically develop junior and senior engineers, reinforcing best practices in electrical design, do
