About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the development and integration of battery and power systems for next-generation electrically active implantable medical devices. This role sits within a multidisciplinary R&D team and is responsible for translating system-level needs into robust electrical and battery specifications, while driving root cause analysis and continuous improvement of power-related performance. This is not a purely design role - it requires strong systems thinking, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to work at the interface of electrical hardware, ASIC design, and battery technology.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on battery systems, energy storage, or power management.
• Demonstrated experience developing and releasing specifications for complex systems.
• Experience, performing and leading root cause analysis in a regulated or high-reliability environment.
• Strong understanding of power electronics, battery behavior, and lifetime modeling.
• Experience working cross-functionally with ASIC or integrated circuit design teams.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with implantable or wearable medical devices.
• Familiarity with lithium-based chemistries used in medical applications.
• Experience working with battery vendors and managing external technical partnerships.
• Knowledge of low-power system design and energy budgeting for long-life devices – paired with high power features.
• Experience with reliability testing, accelerated life testing, and failure analysis techniques.
• Systems-level thinking with attention to detail.
• Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete specifications.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective communication across technical disciplines.
• Comfort operating in a regulated, design-controlled environment.

Responsibilities

• Define, develop, and validate battery and power subsystem architectures for implantable devices.
• Lead battery selection, characterization, and qualification efforts with internal teams and external suppliers.
• Establish performance requirements including capacity, longevity, power consumption, safety margins, and environmental constraints.
• Translate clinical, system, and product requirements into detailed electrical and battery specifications.
• Collaborate with ASIC and electrical design teams to ensure alignment between system constraints and implementation.
• Drive clear, testable, and traceable requirements documentation.
• Lead investigations into power-related failures, anomalies, and field issues.
• Apply structured problem-solving methodologies, including fault tree analysis, DOE, and statistical analysis.
• Develop corrective and preventive actions to improve system robustness and reliability.
• Interface closely with ASIC design, firmware, systems engineering, and mechanical teams.
• Act as the technical bridge between battery suppliers and internal design teams.
• Support integration and verification activities across the product lifecycle.
• Ensure designs and specifications meet regulatory standards for implantable medical devices, including ISO 14708 and IEC 60601 where applicable.
• Contribute to design controls, risk management, and documentation required for regulatory submissions.

Benefits

• The anticipated compensation listed above and the value of core and optional employee benefits offered by Boston Scientific (BSC) – see www.bscbenefitsconnect.com—will vary based on actual location of the position and other pertinent factors considered in determining actual compensation for the role.
• Compensation will be commensurate with demonstrable level of experience and training, pertinent education including licensure and certifications, among other relevant business or organizational needs.
• At BSC, it is not typical for an individual to be hired near the bottom or top of the anticipated salary range listed above.
• Compensation for non-exempt (hourly), non-sales roles may also include variable compensation from time to time (e.g., any overtime and shift differential) and annual bonus target (subject to plan eligibility and other requirements).
• Compensation for exempt, non-sales roles may also include variable compensation, i.e., annual bonus target and long-term incentives (subject to plan eligibility and other requirements).
