Sr. Software Engineer

Position Description

Sr. Software Developer for Medtronic, Inc. in Newton, MA. Responsible for the development and maintenance of advanced clinical software used in cardiac ablation mapping systems. Work primarily with Python and C/C programming languages, Qt QML framework, and Linux operating system to build performance and maintainable code for both front‑end user interfaces and back‑end computation systems. Develop real‑time 2D and 3D visualization tools using OpenGL and GLSL to render cardiac anatomy and catheter positions in real time, optimize rendering performance, and apply techniques in real‑time graphics to enhance clarity and responsiveness in critical clinical environments.

Design and implement user interfaces that scale, capture, record, and display intuitively on different setups at clinical sites using QML, OpenGL, and multimedia frameworks such as ffmpeg. Investigate and analyze clinical HDF5 database and json data to determine optimal data storage methods, accuracy of stored data, replay case events, and detect defects in software data recording. Design and maintain internal tooling using recorded clinical data to support software reliability and clinician workflows including creating tools for data management, clinical case reconstruction, automated User Interface (UI) testing, and software diagnostics.

Design, implement, and maintain software localized in European language markets, leveraging software engineering principles to reduce overhead of maintaining multiple software versions and allow different versions to be used together. Integrate software on embedded systems and hardware interfaces, working with low‑level device data, developing software that operates in constrained resource environments, and ensuring seamless communication between the mapping system software and other peripheral devices using messaging frameworks over Ethernet such as Robot Operating System (ROS).

Leverage Agile software development processes, including regular sprint planning, backlog grooming, and team retrospectives. Utilize version control tools such as Git to ensure robust collaboration, change tracking, and release management. Design, develop, test, debug and implement operating system components, software tools, and utilities. Determine and generate systems software design requirements, standards, and procedures. Understand computer security to ensure the secure handling of patient data, cryptographic validation, and secure file storage, using techniques found in cryptography and number theory.

Relocation assistance is not available for this position.

Master’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering or related technical or engineering field and two (2) years of experience as a software engineer or related occupation; or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering or related technical or engineering field and four (4) years of experience as a software engineer or related occupation. Must possess a minimum of two (2) years of experience with each of the following:
Python, C/C, Qt QML, and Linux Operating System; computer graphics, OpenGL, GLSL, real‑time rendering software development and optimization in both 2D and 3D contexts; scaling, capturing, recording, and displaying user interfaces on varied settings using QML, OpenGL, and multimedia frameworks such as ffmpeg; analyzing json and HDF5 data for storage, replay, and software defect investigations; using case data for designing diagnostic, recovery, and reconstruction tools for software applications, automation, and testing;

enabling localization, maintaining, and allowing cross‑compatibility between software released in foreign language markets; integrating desktop applications with multiple embedded devices over Ethernet using ROS;
Agile software development, software version control systems, designing and updating software requirements, standards, and procedures; and computer and data security, leveraging methods in cryptography and number theory.
