The engineer will lead and support three applications engineers; serve as a technical contact for customers and internal and external partners; review customer layouts and electronic designs; and recommend substrate, packaging, and assembly approaches. The role guides designs from reviews and prototypes through new product introductions and production, and contributes to quotations, feasibility assessments, troubleshooting, quality and process improvements, technical documentation, customer visits, and industry events.

Remtec specializes in advanced ceramic packaging technology, printed circuit boards, substrates, and components used throughout the electronics industry. The role is primarily on-site in Canton, Massachusetts, with approximately 15–30% travel depending on business needs. The listed annual salary range is $120,000–$140,000.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Materials Science Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• At least five years of relevant engineering experience in electronics design, PCB technologies, electronics manufacturing, microelectronics, packaging, or related fields.
• Working knowledge of PCB design, circuit layout, and design for manufacturability, with practical CAD experience such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or comparable tools.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to customer engineers and internal teams, evaluate design tradeoffs, and recommend solutions.
• Strong analytical, project coordination, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Enthusiasm for customer-facing engineering and team leadership.
• Ability to work primarily on-site and travel for customer visits and business needs.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with thick-film ceramic substrates; alumina (Al₂O₃), aluminum nitride (AlN), or beryllium oxide (BeO); hybrid microelectronics; or advanced electronic packaging.
