Senior Analog IC Design Engineer
About The Position
At Medtronic, our ASICs contribute to human welfare by restoring health and extending life; it's part of our Mission. We have an integrated Mixed-Signal ASIC team contributing to the implementation and innovation of cardiac pacing, defibrillation, and monitoring therapies. This means our designers need to understand and participate in the big picture of how their work impacts the end user, a patient. Opportunities to meet doctors and witness implants directly connect our work to patient outcomes and lives. 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 will be based in Mounds View, MN. This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship. Applicants must be authorized to work in the country of employment without sponsorship.
