J&J MedTech is recruiting for a Senior Engineer, R&D located in Irvine, CA.

J&J MedTech is the global leader in the science of diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders. J&J MedTech established its leadership in electrophysiology with the development of the first real-time, 3D cardiac mapping and navigation technology, as well as the first electrophysiology catheter. The introduction of the company’s CARTO® 3 System in 2009 revolutionized 3D mapping technology by increasing the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of the cardiac ablation procedure.

Patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib) can be at high risk for developing clot formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA) which can lead to strokes and other complications. The LAA is a small pouch in the left atrium of the heart that is a major contributor to thromboembolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. In order to mitigate the stroke risk, patients with AFib undergo a surgical procedure to close the left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
