Hardware Systems Engineer
Team: Hardware Engineering
Location: Boston, MA
Commitment: Full Time
Workplace Type: onsite
About the Role:
The Hardware Group is looking for a Hardware Systems Engineer to join our Cambridge office and own the breadth of hardware development for a new class of industrial CT scanners. This is a hands-on, highly interdisciplinary role on a team taking new industrial machinery from concept to production. You will be directly responsible for system architecture, electrical design, embedded integration, and prototype bring-up, while partnering with mechanical, software, manufacturing, and product engineers. You’ll work alongside a small, fast-moving team that values curiosity, rigor, and system-level thinking. If you’re a well rounded electrical engineer, embedded engineer, robotics engineer, or similar, this role is for you.
This is a full-time, in-person role based in our Cambridge, MA office.
What you'll do:
- Drive the system architecture. Translate product-level requirements into a clear split across electrical and firmware. Own designs that meet the requirements.
- Select and qualify the critical parts (motors, sensors, actuators, motion controllers, power supplies) and own the rationale and tradeoffs. Make the buy-vs-build decisions on the components that matter.
- Write drivers for the peripherals you pull onto the product and land them in the appliance firmware and application stack with the Systems Software team.
- Use PCB CAD tools to design embedded electronics and PCBs.
- Build the prototypes. Turn a wrench, build cables, bring up boards, and bring a pile of parts up to a working integrated system.
- Own test and validation. Plan it, fixture it, run it, analyze the data, and push corrective actions back into the design.
- Own your portions of the product through the development cycle, from concept to production.
About you:
- 4+ years of hands-on experience taking a complex electro-mechanical or robotics product from blank page to working hardware.
- Breadth of knowledge in electronics and embedded code. You don’t need to be the best in the room at either, but you’ve done both on real products.
- A tinkerer at heart - you chase ambiguity into the hardware and keep digging until you understand why a system behaves the way it does.
- Enthusiastic about working in a fast-paced, high-ownership startup environment where the work is challenging and rewarding.
Bonus points for:
- Background in motion control, closed-loop systems, or sensor fusion.
- Shipped a hardware product from first prototype to production at volume.
- Experience with X-ray systems or other radiation-emitting equipment.
