A Day in the Life

As one of three comprehensive portfolios at Medtronic, Neuroscience is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with neurological disorders, spine conditions, and chronic pain. Guided by our Mission-to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life-we develop technologies and therapies that help people regain function, reduce pain, and return to the activities that matter most.

Our Neurovascular Operating Unit develops and delivers advanced, minimally invasive endovascular technologies for the treatment of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, brain aneurysms, and other complex cerebrovascular conditions. Through catheters, stent retrievers, flow diversion, and embolization systems, these solutions enable rapid, image-guided interventions that restore blood flow, secure vessels, and support consistent performance in high-acuity neurovascular procedures.

  • Translate experimental data into engineering requirements to advance therapy development.
  • Design and execute pre-clinical/cadaveric studies with integrated electro-mechanical systems.
  • Apply quantitative analysis (signal, modeling, statistics) to drive feasibility, performance, and design decisions.
  • Serve as R&T engineering interface supporting cross-functional clinical and regulatory strategies (EFS, IDE, Breakthrough).
  • Distill complex data into clear technical narratives and contribute to publications and external presentations.
  • Hands-on product development support to advance R&T concepts and therapies into and through New Product Development.


Required Knowledge and Experience:
  • Requires a Baccalaureate degree and
