• Contribute to the architecture, development and deployment of software and system solutions for Class II and Class III medical devices within the Urology division.
• Support the implementation of efficient, maintainable software and system development processes, tools and workflows.
• Participate in new product development activities that help advance innovative medical technologies toward regulatory approval and commercial launch.
• Apply analytical and problem-solving skills to evaluate technical challenges, analyze data and recommend solutions.
• Prepare technical reports and documentation to communicate engineering results, findings and recommendations.
• Assist in troubleshooting products and process challenges related to software design, materials and manufacturing processes.
• Support the development and execution of test procedures and assist in training technicians and operators in new processes.
• Contribute to the development of new product concepts, software designs and processes, including opportunities to submit innovative ideas.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Process Development, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical and Marketing, to support projects of varying complexity.
• Participate in engineering projects aligned with business needs and individual technical interests.

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree in software engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering or biomedical engineering, with an expected graduation date between Fall/Winter 2027 and Spring 2030.
• Eligible to work in the U.S. without company sponsorship, now or in the future, for employment-based work authorization.
• Have reliable transportation to and from 300 Boston Scientific Way, Marlborough, MA 01752, or One Scimed Place, Maple Grove, MN 55311.
• Available to participate for the full duration of the co-op program from Jan. 11 through Aug. 6 or Aug. 13, 2027.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with safety-critical software development life cycles, including architecture, requirements definition, design implementation, testing, release documentation and post-market support.
• Experience collaborating with project managers and subject matter experts to develop work breakdown structures, plan project activities and execute functional milestones.
• Familiarity with artificial intelligence tools for productivity, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT, or software development tools, such as Claude Code, Codex and GitHub Copilot.
• Experience using at least one programming language, such as C, C++, C# or Python, in a professional setting, including an internship or co-op.
• Familiarity with medical device risk assessment methodologies, including design failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA) and hazard analysis.
• Experience with source control, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and requirements management tools, such as Git, Bitbucket, Jira, Jenkins and Cockpit.
• Familiarity with medical device cybersecurity activities, including threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing and post-market surveillance.

This role follows a hybrid work model, requiring employees to be in our local office at least three/four days per week. Relocation and housing assistance may be available to those who meet the eligibility criteria.
