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.
