Systems Engineering Manager; Console System

About the role

The Systems Engineering Manager will lead the system integration, requirements execution, and end-to-end system development for Boston Scientific’s intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) platform within the Interventional Cardiology and Vascular Therapies (ICVT) division. The role is critical to delivering a high-performance system integrating capital equipment (console/generator), software, and catheter-based disposable devices. The manager will oversee console system development, including integration, interface definition, and system-level testing to ensure reliable interaction between console and catheter subsystems.

This position is highly execution-focused: driving system lifecycle activities from design through commercialization while leading a team of systems engineers and ensuring alignment with clinical, technical, and regulatory requirements.

This role is onsite, requiring employees to work from the local office in Carlsbad, CA to support hands‑on system integration, test execution, and cross‑functional collaboration.

Relocation assistance is not available for this position at this time.

Boston Scientific will not offer sponsorship or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this position at this time.
