R&D Engineer III - Electrophysiology

The Ablation Catheter Development Team is growing and has an exciting opportunity for an engineer role supporting electrophysiology product development within the Cardiology division. Electrophysiology is an exciting growth driver for BSC. With the acquisition of FARAPULSE Inc., Boston Scientific will strengthen its leadership in Personalized EP Solutions, with a strong focus in Atrial Fibrillation.

The engineer role will be a key team member in providing mechanical engineering support in the creation and development of new electrophysiology ablation catheter technologies. As R&D Engineer II, you will support new product development team solutions to multi-faceted customer issues. You will be a part of a high-performance team responsible for the design, implementation, and test of disposable medical devices within our electrophysiology pulsed field ablation single use device portfolio. This critical role will be a part of best-in-class development practices and rigorous, holistic product design in coordination with internal and external partners.

This is an on-site position based in Arden Hills, MN.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Researches, develops, designs, and evaluates: mechanical and electro-mechanical materials, components, assemblies, processes and/or equipment.
