About The Position
At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world. A Day in the Life As one of three comprehensive portfolios at Medtronic, Neuroscience is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with neurological disorders, spine conditions, and chronic pain. Guided by our Mission—to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life—we develop technologies and therapies that help people regain function, reduce pain, and return to the activities that matter most. Our Neurovascular Operating Unit develops and delivers advanced, minimally invasive endovascular technologies for the treatment of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, brain aneurysms, and other complex cerebrovascular conditions. Through catheters, stent retrievers, flow diversion, and embolization systems, these solutions enable rapid, image-guided interventions that restore blood flow, secure vessels, and support consistent performance in high-acuity neurovascular procedures. At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. We’re working onsite 4 days a week to drive performance, foster an environment of belonging, and collaborate to inspire as we engineer the extraordinary.
