Be part of a company that thinks differently to solve problems, make progress, and deliver meaningful innovations. Our Purpose The Electrical Engineer II in Cardiac Ablation Solutions (CAS) contributes to the architecture, design, verification, and lifecycle support of complex electrical systems used in cardiac mapping and ablation therapies. This role supports sustaining engineering and technology development efforts, with a strong emphasis on patient safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation in medical devices. This engineer works with growing independence, contributing technical input across programs, collaborating with cross-functional teams including systems engineering, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory, and taking ownership of assigned workstreams. The role should also be open to supporting project planning and coordination activities as needed. Come for a job, stay for a career! A Day in The Life Of: Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned. Support electrical design activities for cardiac ablation platforms, including generators, energy delivery systems, sensing and monitoring circuits, and safety-critical subsystems. Contribute to the development and review of electrical architectures, requirements, and design approaches to support RF and pulsed field ablation technologies, ensuring robustness under clinical use conditions. Support trade-off decisions balancing performance, safety, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and regulatory constraints. Contribute to detailed electrical design activities including high-voltage circuits, power electronics, sensing and monitoring circuits, isolation schemes, grounding strategies, and EMC-robust designs. Support and execute verification and validation activities, ensuring designs meet functional, safety, and reliability requirements across the product lifecycle. Provide technical input into design reviews, hazard analyses, and failure investigations involving electrical subsystems. Support risk management activities related to electrical hazards, energy delivery, insulation, leakage currents, fault detection, and patient return electrode monitoring, with ownership of assigned deliverables. Apply Design for Reliability and Manufacturability principles to identify, reduce, and monitor technical risk in compliance with medical device standards and internal quality systems. Act as a design technical leader across released product engineering, manufacturing, supplier engineering, service, and quality teams. Support sustaining engineering activities including root‑cause analysis of field issues, design changes, component obsolescence, and manufacturing process improvements. Interface with external suppliers and partners to support continuity of supply, technical alignment with system requirements, and coordination of assigned tasks or project activities. Share technical knowledge and collaborate with other engineers to support sound electrical design, documentation, and problem solving. Contribute to engineering standards, design guidelines, and continuous improvement efforts within CAS. Represent electrical engineering in program reviews, technical discussions, and issue-resolution forums as needed.
