Software Engineer II - Signals & Algorithm Interfaces (Python/C++)

Medtronic•Mounds View, MN

3d•$96,000 - $144,000•Hybrid

About The Position

At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. 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 - Signals & Algorithm Interfaces (Python/C++) you'll work at the seam where the Affera Signals & Algorithms team's work meets the production Prism Mapping system — collaborating with the team that develops new algorithms and helping bring their work into the live software clinicians use. As an SWE II, you'll write Python and C++ on Linux to bring algorithm modules into the production system, help optimize them for real production constraints, and build the data paths and interfaces that connect them to the rest of the platform. You'll learn the fundamentals of cardiac signals and the algorithms that act on them well enough to be a credible partner to the Signals & Algorithms team — and you'll debug across the boundary between numerical code and system code with mentorship from senior engineers. 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.
