About The Position

The Senior Electrical Engineer designs, develops, integrates, tests, and supports complex electrical and electronic systems used in company products. The role contributes technically throughout the product lifecycle, from concept and requirements development through design, production, field support, and continuous improvement. Working within a cross-functional team spanning Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Systems, Manufacturing, Quality, and Service, this engineer independently leads complex electrical design activities, supports system integration and troubleshooting, and provides technical guidance to less experienced personnel. The position ensures designs meet applicable product, safety, regulatory, performance, and manufacturability requirements. It is a full-time, day-shift, on-site role requiring the ability to commute to Boxborough, Massachusetts.
