TL;DR

As a Senior Electrical / Embedded Systems Engineer on Abbott’s Vascular R&D team in St. Paul, MN, you will play a critical role in designing and developing next-generation intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) systems. Your day-to-day responsibilities include collaborating with cross-functional teams to define requirements, develop prototypes, and execute experiments for innovative medical devices. You will design custom laboratory test systems, build embedded firmware, debug circuit boards, and collect performance data to ensure the efficacy, safety, and manufacturability of these advanced devices. The role requires expertise in embedded systems, firmware development (preferably C/C++ on ARM-based microcontrollers), and proficiency with tools like Altium Designer for circuit board design. Strong problem-solving skills and hands-on laboratory experience are essential, as is familiarity with medical device development processes such as design controls and risk management.
