Onsite • Boston, MA

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham. Advance your career by joining our innovative R&D team at Massachusetts General Hospital as an Electrical Systems Engineer—a role designed for those eager to shape the future of electrical systems in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment. As a key contributor, you will lead and support the design, development, and prototyping of novel electrical systems and components, working with cutting-edge tools and multidisciplinary teams to deliver impactful solutions from concept through prototype validation. Candidates should possess a strong background in circuit design, systems integration, and laboratory testing, with experience in microcontroller-based development strongly desired and exposure to high-voltage environments considered a significant asset. This position offers the ideal setting to apply technical expertise, creativity, and problem-solving skills on projects driving real-world technological advancement Summary We are seeking a highly motivated, hands-on Lab Engineer / Prototyping Technician to support the design, development, and day-to-day operations of prototype medical device products in our research and development lab. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic prototyping environment, enjoys working with both mechanical and electrical systems, and takes pride in maintaining an organized and well-functioning research lab space. The candidate will play a key role in keeping critical prototype systems operational, supporting experimental testing, and contributing to the design and fabrication of custom fixtures and components. They will also be responsible for consuming technical information and communicating key results and outcomes in technical reports for non-technical audiences. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment at the early stages of product development, exercise independence, and grow technical knowledge and expertise in high voltage and X-ray systems.
