Electrical Engineer II, CAS

Electrical Engineer II

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.

As an Electrical Engineer II within Cardiac Ablation Solutions, you will support the design, integration, and execution of catheter-based electrical systems used in electrophysiology therapies and diagnostics. This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of moderately complex projects, work with limited supervision, and directly contribute to the development of life-changing technologies. You will work closely with cross-functional teams in mechanical engineering, software development, quality assurance, and manufacturing to drive projects from concept through production.

The Cardiac Ablations Solutions Unit develops life-restoring therapies and healthcare solutions that span the care continuum; integrating technologies and applying clinical and economic evidence to increase patient access, improve efficiency of procedures and deliver successful patient outcomes. The ideal candidate will have a passion for the patients we serve and an unrelenting desire to improve our business.

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. This position is based in Mounds View, Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area) and requires 4 days on-site per week.

We believe that when people from different cultures, genders, and points of view come together, innovation is the result —and everyone wins. Medtronic walks the walk, creating an inclusive culture where you can thrive.
