Youll work closely with senior engineering leaders hardware architects systems engineering and quality to shape multi-release roadmaps; mentor senior and principal engineers across teams; and raise the engineering bar for how foundational software is built in a medical device environment. The decisions you make here will be felt by every other engineer on the team and ultimately by every physician using the system.
About the Affera Prism Mapping System
The Affera Prism Mapping System is an advanced electrophysiology mapping platform used by physicians to diagnose and guide the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It captures and processes signals from inside the beating heart builds detailed real-time three-dimensional maps of cardiac anatomy and electrical activity and presents that information to clinicians and mapping specialists during live procedures. Engineers on this team build the software that makes that possible from the runtime and data pipelines that move signals in milliseconds to the algorithms that turn raw signals into clinically meaningful information to the visualization and UI surfaces clinicians rely on in the lab.
