About The Position

As a Senior Systems Engineer within Boston Scientific’s Neuromodulation R&D team, you will contribute to the design, integration, and verification of complex implantable and connected neuromodulation systems. Work spans the product development lifecycle, including interpreting system requirements, understanding system behavior, developing verification strategies, executing system-level testing, and ensuring compliance with quality and regulatory standards. The role calls for technical expertise in Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) implantable devices, system workflows, communication interfaces, test infrastructure, and verification automation. You will collaborate with Systems, Software, Hardware, Firmware, Test, Quality, Regulatory, Cybersecurity, and cloud engineering teams, provide technical leadership for global verification efforts, and contribute hands-on to test development, system analysis, integration, and formal verification. This is an on-site position in Valencia, California, with employees required to work in the local office five days per week. Relocation assistance and employment visa sponsorship are not available.
