Mechanical Engineer III

Hamilton Storage Technologies•Franklin, MA

4d•$140,000 - $160,000

About The Position

Hamilton Storage develops modular, scalable automation systems for sample storage, management, and processing in life science and clinical research. The Mechanical Engineer III designs, develops, verifies, and validates automation products and subsystems for laboratory and automated storage applications. As a key contributor on cross-functional new product development teams, this engineer leads mechanical design activities from concept generation through market release. The role calls for strong technical expertise, sound engineering judgment, effective collaboration, and the ability to constructively challenge assumptions and contribute to team decisions. Experience with precision mechanisms, electromechanical systems, and component-level design for automation equipment is highly desirable. The position requires a BSME or MSME from a regionally accredited, nonprofit institution and at least eight years of mechanical engineering experience in product development. Candidates should have experience developing products from concept through design, testing, manufacturing launch, and market release, as well as component and subsystem design, manufacturing drawings, GD&T, engineering analysis, tolerance stack-ups, design verification testing, and root-cause investigations. The role requires U.S. work authorization and occasional travel. Candidates must pass drug and background screens and may be required to wear employer-provided personal protective equipment. The base salary range is $140,000 to $160,000 per annum. Hamilton cites opportunities for professional growth, a diverse portfolio of design projects, a commitment to sustainable design, competitive compensation, and a benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid vacation and sick time, disability insurance, a 401(k), and tuition reimbursement.
