A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life

Medtronic pioneered the field of neuromodulation with groundbreaking innovations, including the first commercially available spinal cord stimulator for chronic pain, the first deep brain stimulation (DBS) system for movement disorders, and the first implantable drug pump for targeted medication delivery to the intrathecal space of the spine. More than 40 years later, we continue to push the boundaries of innovation, constantly challenging ourselves to disrupt the markets we created. By advancing science with bold thinking and collaboration, we bring together the right expertise to engineer groundbreaking therapies and technologies that transform patient care.

Join a diverse team of innovators who bring their worldview, their unique backgrounds and their individual life experiences to work every day. It’s no accident – we work hard to cultivate a workforce that reflects our patients and partners. We believe it’s the only way to drive healthcare forward and remain a global leader in medical technology and solutions.

Careers That Change Lives

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you’ll collaborate with a talented team of engineers and technicians to design, develop, and launch innovative products that shape the future of neuromodulation. In this role, you will lead electrical product development for next generation implantables and external neurostimulators supporting therapies such as Deep Brain Stimulation, Spinal Cord Stimulation, and Sacral Nerve Modulation. Success in this position requires a strong understanding of the regulatory and safety standards that govern medical device development.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned.

• Lead the design, development, analysis, characterization, verification, and debugging of new electrical designs—covering both analog and digital circuitry for implantable devices and patient care instruments.

• Apply theory and practical knowledge of LF & HF antennas, matching circuitry, radios, and related electrical connection topologies within implantables and patient programmers.

• Integrate firmware with embedded electronics to create robust, high-performance systems.

• Design, execute, and validate test methods to ensure compliance with standards, product specifications, and system requirements.

• Partner with Electrical, Systems, Firmware, and IC Design teams to troubleshoot issues, create targeted test suites, and drive verification of electrical designs.

• Analyze product performance using DFSS techniques to optimize quality and reliability.

• Validate test environments, including non-product software validation.

• Develop test methods and work with certified test houses to verify/certify products to global regulatory standards (e.g., IEC 60601, ISO 14708-3).

• Define production test requirements and support the creation of manufacturing test applications for PCBA and device assembly.

• Adhere to all quality policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with quality systems and delivery of high-standard work.

• Collaborate effectively across international teams and travel globally as needed.
