Top Engineering Jobs in Boston, MA

Lead end-to-end mission systems engineering for advanced unmanned aircraft, including architecture, requirements, payloads, avionics, communications, weapons, integration, certification, and flight testing. Drive system-of-systems trade studies, integration campaigns, technical maturity, and compliance with aerospace standards. Serve as a technical subject matter expert while coordinating with program management, customers, partners, and suppliers to deliver fielded mission capabilities.

Designs and operates scalable platform infrastructure across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments. Builds infrastructure-as-code frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, automation, observability, and secure deployment patterns. Partners with engineering, security, and infrastructure teams to improve reliability, resilience, compliance, and developer productivity across mission-critical systems.

Paid, full-time electrical engineering co-op supporting autonomous aircraft hardware development. Responsibilities may include circuit board design, power electronics simulation and verification, avionics bring-up, debugging, automated test-rack development, and HALT reliability testing. The co-op owns a project with mentorship from a senior engineer and collaborates with cross-functional engineering teams.

Electrical Engineering Interns will gather requirements, design, and validate avionics assemblies and test fixtures. They will work across power electronics, communications, RF, and related disciplines; build test stands involving relays, PLCs, PCBAs, and harnesses; use Python for test automation, analysis, and simulations; and participate in cross-functional design reviews. The internship is a 10–12-week paid program for students pursuing Electrical Engineering or a related STEM degree.

Lead development and technical delivery of maritime autonomy capabilities for USVs, UUVs, and cooperating UAVs. Design motion planning, localization, tracking, safety assurance, COLREGS-compliant behaviors, and heterogeneous multi-agent collaboration. Build high-performance, well-tested software, integrate it onto real platforms, support deployment and demonstrations, analyze mission logs, and contribute to R&D roadmaps. Collaborate across perception, planning, simulation, hardware, and operational test teams while helping customers define requirements and technical approaches.

Lead technical direction for maritime autonomy capabilities across multiple programs. Develop motion planning, localization, tracking, safe maritime behaviors, COLREGS-compliant operations, and heterogeneous multi-agent collaboration for USVs, UUVs, and UAVs. Build and integrate high-performance, rigorously tested software; support deployment, vehicle testing, demonstrations, and mission-log analysis. Mentor engineers, guide architecture and roadmaps, research new algorithms, and collaborate across perception, planning, simulation, hardware, and operational test teams. Travel is typically about 25%.

Develop and deploy autonomy software for unmanned surface, underwater, and aerial vehicles in maritime missions. Responsibilities include motion planning, localization and tracking, safety assurance, COLREGS adherence, multi-agent coordination, distributed optimization, rigorous software testing, platform integration, deployment support, mission-log analysis, and autonomy R&D. The role also involves cross-functional collaboration, customer and demonstration support, roadmap development, and mentoring junior engineers. Travel is typically approximately 25% annually.

Lead battery system architecture, design, qualification, integration, and production for X-BAT, launch/recovery vehicles, and ground equipment. Deploy high-voltage, high-power battery systems, build team and lab, perform verification, debug complex electrical and environmental issues, and provide mentorship and program leadership.

Develop, integrate, and field autonomy software for unmanned platforms; lead a small technical team through design-to-deployment; author ICDs; perform hardware/software debugging, system bring-up, simulation testing, and mission support; mentor engineers and coordinate with internal teams and external integrators. Travel ~10-20%.

Develop and test autonomy behaviors for unmanned systems using production C++. Implement features for behavior, coordination, motion planning, and survivability. Participate in full software lifecycle, integrate with sensors/actuators, support simulation and real-world testing, collaborate cross-functionally, and travel up to 20% to support integration and testing. Must be eligible for a U.S. Secret clearance.
