Senior Mechanical Engineer
About The Position
Boston Engineering is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer for an office-based role in Waltham, Massachusetts. The engineer will design and develop innovative products from concept through production, applying expertise in motion systems, motion controls, robotics, and precision electromechanical design. The work includes building and testing proof-of-concept models, breadboards, prototypes, and production-ready designs; performing engineering analyses; and producing specifications and design documentation. The role contributes to rapid, iterative product development and supports proposals, technical estimates, and customer engagements. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams and follow Boston Engineering’s Quality Management System and engineering best practices. The role is restricted to US persons due to access to export-controlled technology, and proof of status is required before employment. Relocation is not available and travel is minimal.
