Careers That Change Lives

At Medtronic, we push the limits of what technology can do to make tomorrow better than yesterday, and that makes it an exciting and rewarding place to work. We value what makes you unique. Be a part of a company that thinks differently to solve problems, make progress, and deliver meaningful innovations.

The Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) Operating Unit offers devices and therapies that treat patients with abnormal heart rhythms and heart failure. We are comprised of three businesses:

Cardiac Pacing Therapies

Cardiovascular Diagnostics & Services

Defibrillation Solutions

This position will provide highly specialized computational modeling expertise in design and development of innovative products to treat cardiac diseases. The emphasis will be on modelling the physiology of the heart and the interaction between cardiac function and medical devices in vivo. Bearing in mind first principles, the Senior Computational Modeling Engineer will understand business requirements, formulate a modeling approach that will address those requirements, independently carry out the modeling activities and provide concise communication of the results through technical reports and presentations.

The ideal candidate will have sufficient knowledge and expertise in both cardiac mechanics and electrophysiology.

Perform theoretical and finite element analysis (FEA) and/or to predict cardiac system behavior under in vivo and in vitro types of load conditions. This individual will develop technical solutions to complex problems that require the regular use of creativity and critical thinking.

This position is in Mounds View, MN. within the Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) operating unit.  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 are working on-site 4 days per week as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary.

This role will require less than 10% of travel to enhance collaboration and ensure successful completion of projects.

We believe that when people from different cultures, genders, and points of view come together, innovation is the result
-and everyone wins. Medtronic walks the walk, creating an inclusive culture where you can thrive.
