Full Job Description
We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 15 Jun 2026 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** 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 Principal Software Engineer – Signals & Algorithm Interfaces (Python/C++) you will set the technical direction for how the Affera Signals & Algorithms team's work is brought into the Prism Mapping platform — the architecture that lets new algorithms reach the clinic safely and performantly, and the partnership model that connects algorithm development to production engineering. You'll lead cross-cutting design for real-time signal pipelines, algorithm execution frameworks, and the optimization strategies that let algorithms hit clinical performance targets at scale. You'll partner deeply with the Signals & Algorithms team, hardware engineers, and clinical experts to shape roadmaps, mentor senior engineers across the integration space, and drive root cause on the hardest cross-domain problems — the ones that span signal behavior, system code, and clinical workflow. Your decisions will determine how quickly new clinical capabilities reach physicians, and how reliably they perform in the lab. ** _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, bu
