Software Engineer II - Core Infrastructure (Python/C++)
About The Position
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. As a Software Engineer II - Core Infrastructure (Python/C++) you'll be joining the team that builds the foundation everything else on the Affera Prism Mapping system runs on — the runtime, services, IPC, device communication layer, and data pipelines that connect hardware to algorithms, visualization, and UI. As an SWE II, you'll own well-scoped pieces of that foundation: a service, a data path, a device interface, a piece of tooling. You'll write Python and C++ on Linux, learn how the system fits together end-to-end, and debug across process boundaries with mentorship from senior engineers — shipping code that clinicians depend on. About the Affera Prism Mapping System The Affera Prism Mapping System is an advanced electrophysiology mapping platform used by physicians to diagnose and guide the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It captures and processes signals from inside the beating heart, builds detailed real-time three-dimensional maps of cardiac anatomy and electrical activity, and presents that information to clinicians and mapping specialists during live procedures. Engineers on this team build the software that makes that possible — from the runtime and data pipelines that move signals in milliseconds, to the algorithms that turn raw signals into clinically meaningful information, to the visualization and UI surfaces clinicians rely on in the lab.
