We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 18 May 2026

 

At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world.

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.

         

         

As a Sr. Software Engineer – Core Infrastructure (Python/C++) you will own significant pieces of the platform that the entire Prism Mapping system is built on — process orchestration, IPC, device interface layers, system services, build and runtime infrastructure on Linux. A typical week mixes deep technical work (designing a new IPC pattern, hardening a data pipeline, debugging a timing issue that only appears under load in the cath lab) with cross-team collaboration with the hardware, signals, visualization, and UI engineers who depend on what you build. You'll drive root cause on the hardest infrastructure-level bugs, set the standard for reliability and observability in your area, mentor newer engineers, and shape the architecture of the platform as it evolves. 

 

About the Affera Prism Mapping System 

The Affera Prism Mapping System is an advanced electrophysiology mapping platform used by physicians to diagnose and guide the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It captures and processes signals from inside the beating heart, builds detailed real-time three-dimensional maps of cardiac anatomy and electrical activity, and presents that information to clinicians and mapping specialists during live procedures. Engineers on this team build the software that makes that possible — from the runtime and data pipelines that move signals in milliseconds, to the algorithms that turn raw signals into clinically meaningful information, to the visualization and UI surfaces clinicians rely on in the lab. 

 

Primary Responsibilities 

• Own significant components of the platform infrastructure — services, IPC, device communication, system runtime, data pipelines. 

• Design and evolve the infrastructure-level APIs and contracts that the signals, visualization, and UI teams build on. 

• Drive observability, reliability, and performance improvements across the platform; lead root cause when infrastructure is implicated in clinical or hardware-test failures. 

• Own features, components, or subsystems end-to-end. 

• Determine the technical approach for complex component- and subsystem-level problems with limited supervision. 

• Lead development across design, implementation, integration, and support for assigned areas. 

• Contribute to software architecture, design improvements, engineering practices, and development processes. 

• Provide technical leadership through code reviews, mentoring, and guidance. 

• Collaborate effectively across software, systems, hardware, and quality in a regulated environment. 

• Communicate technical issues, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to team members and stakeholders. 

 

Required Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience 

• OR Master’s degree with a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience
