Principal Electrical Engineer
About The Position
Medtronic’s Interventional Cardiac Therapies (ICT) Renal Denervation business is looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer to be part of a high-performing team developing next-generation medical device capital equipment. In this role, you will apply electrical engineering expertise with a focus on RF design, and RF energy delivery, digital circuit card design, FPGA, SOM, and hardware/software interfaces to support the design, development, characterization, integration testing, verification, validation, and lifecycle support of a next-generation Renal Denervation RF ablation generator. The work you do will impact patients globally and help support Medtronic’s mission of alleviating pain, restoring health, and extending life for millions. This role requires strong electrical engineering expertise, sound technical judgment, and the ability to collaborate effectively across complex multidisciplinary product development. The Principal Electrical Engineer will apply knowledge of RF design, RF energy delivery, circuit card design, digital hardware design, FPGA, SOM, hardware/software interfaces electrical engineering, systems development, characterization, and integration testing from early phase development through market release. The ideal candidate will have a passion for the patients we serve, strong collaboration skills, and deep expertise in RF design and RF energy delivery, with experience related to digital circuit card design, FPGA, SOM, and hardware/software interface considerations for medical device capital equipment. The Principal Electrical Engineer will work with an experienced electrical engineering team on the electrical engineering aspects of a new capital equipment platform, with a primary focus on RF design, digital hardware design, systems development, characterization, and integration testing for a next-generation Renal Denervation RF ablation generator. The role operates with a high degree of autonomy and provides expert technical input across RF hardware, digital circuit card design, FPGA and SOM-related hardware considerations, design, testing, risk management, and cross-functional execution.
