Job description

• Mobile UI/UX principles

Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact.

A Day in the Life

Medtronic

At Medtronic, we value what makes you unique. Be part of a company that thinks differently to solve problems, make progress, and deliver meaningful innovations.

Our Purpose

At Medtronic Patient Care Systems (PCS), we power the digital heartbeat behind life‑saving cardiac therapies. We build the connected ecosystem that enables clinicians to monitor, manage, and protect millions of patients living with implantable cardiac devices around the world.

From secure device connectivity and real‑time data platforms to intelligent clinical tools and patient‑facing experiences, PCS transforms complex cardiac data into clarity — helping physicians make faster decisions, improving outcomes, and giving patients greater confidence in their care.

Every line of code we write supports someone’s parent, spouse, child, or friend. Our work ensures that life‑saving therapies are not only delivered safely and reliably, but continuously improved through innovation, insight, and global scale.

If you want to build technology that truly matters — where uptime means peace of mind and innovation means more birthdays — join us. Together, we are shaping the future of connected cardiac care and changing lives every single day

Come for a job, stay for a career!

A Day in The Life Of:

You will build a native application that lives at the intersection of hardware, health data, and the human experience. The app communicates directly with an implanted cardiac device over a proprietary BLE protocol, ingests raw physiological data from that device, runs AI‑powered analytics on‑device, and keeps every byte of sensitive health data encrypted at rest and in transit. This is not a typical app — it has to work when connectivity is degraded, when the user is asleep, and when the stakes are genuinely high. Typical activities include:

• Support the design, development, testing, and maintenance of mobile applications for iOS and Android
• Write clean, maintainable code with guidance from senior engineers
• Participate in code reviews and learn from team feedback
• Debug issues and help resolve application defects
• Collaborate with product, design, Verification engineering, and backend teams to deliver features
• Contribute to API integration, documentation, and general development tasks
• Learn and apply engineering standards, tools, and agile practices
• Collaborate on the design with other team members, both inside and outside of the team and with internal and external partners located across various geographies

What makes this role interesting:

The device you are talking to is inside a person. That constraint makes every engineering decision — from reconnection backoff logic to storage encryption strategy — carry a weight that you don't find on most teams. You will ship code that actually matters to real people, and you will do it while working across two mature native platforms with a shared purpose.

What you will work on:

• On‑device analytics: a CoreML (iOS) / TFLite (Android) inference runtime for health metrics such as sleep quality, HRV, and activity; bridging model outputs into a user‑facing experience
• Native UI: SwiftUI (iOS) and Jetpack Compose (Android) across a shared design system; building health‑grade UI components that surface complex physiological data accessibly
• Platform integrations: HealthKit / Health Connect export, iCloud / Google Backup adapters, StoreKit 2 / Play Billing entitlement flows
• Connectivity health monitoring: instrumentation of BLE session quality metrics, reconnection rates, sync success/failure rates, and end‑to‑end device‑app communication health; surfaces degraded connectivity signals before they affect the member experience, with particular importance given the cardiac‑implant context
• Release pipeline ownership: owning the mobile release chain end to end: build configuration, code signing, Firebase distribution for QA validation, and App Store / Play Store submission; shipment is part of the feature lifecycle, not a handoff
• AI‑assisted development: actively using AI tools to accelerate implementation, code review, and debugging; holding AI‑generated contributions to the same quality and safety bar as hand‑authored code

Key Skills & Experience
