Software Engineer II - Signals & Algorithm… at Medtronic · Newton

Software Engineer II - Signals & Algorithm Interfaces (Python/C++) Location: Newton, Massachusetts, United States of America We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 19 May 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 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. 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. Primary Responsibilities Build the data paths and interfaces that bring algorithm modules into the production system, in Python and C++. Help optimize algorithm implementations for production constraints. Own moderately scoped features or components and deliver end-to-end. Make routine technical decisions within established team guidelines. Contribute to subsystem design discussions and implementation planning. Debug issues across components, with guidance as needed. Participate in code reviews, integration, testing, and technical documentation. Build understanding of broader system interactions and interfaces. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree anda minimum of2years of relevant experience ORMaster’sdegree witha minimum of0years of relevant experience Preferred Qualifications Experience with digital signal processing, biomedical signals, or numerical/scientific computing. Comfort with NumPy, SciPy, or comparable numerical libraries. Strong programming skills, understanding, and knowledge of Python/C++ or equivalent. Ability to contribute in a mixed Python/C++ with Qt/QML environment. Solid foundation in software engineering principles, including object-oriented design, data structures, algorithms, memory management, and version control. Experience developing on Linux-based systems. Exposure to Docker, CI/CD, or container-based development workflows. Familiarity with debugging multi-process, distributed, or device-connected systems. Sound judgment when evaluating the quality and correctness of AI-generated code. For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required.
