Top Engineering Jobs in Boston, MA

Lead design and implementation of tactical autonomy behaviors for unmanned platforms. Develop, test, and deploy multi-agent coordination, motion/behavior planning, and survivability features across vehicles while owning end-to-end system lifecycle and collaborating with integration teams and end users.

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%.

Lead design and development of advanced electrical systems for autonomous aircraft, including circuit and subsystem design, part selection, schematic capture, simulation, verification, debugging, and production releases. Integrate embedded systems and sensors for autonomy, coordinate cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, define technical requirements, and develop automated test solutions to improve hardware reliability and production readiness.

Lead systems engineering for Hivemind-based autonomy products: define and manage requirements, develop system architectures and trade studies, coordinate hardware/software interfaces, support integration/verification/validation and testing, and identify and mitigate technical risks across the system lifecycle.

Own selection, qualification, and lifecycle management of electronic components. Manage PLM data, AML/AVL, PCNs/EOL mitigation, BOM reviews, vendor lists, alternate sourcing, and supplier technical engagement to ensure reliability and supply continuity.

Lead design and integration of secure, low-latency communication systems for autonomous aircraft, including RF, SATCOM, SDR, and tactical data links. Define system requirements, optimize encrypted data links, enable connectivity between airborne, ground, and satellite systems, develop AI-driven sensor fusion, validate performance via simulation and flight testing, and ensure DoD compliance and mission readiness.

Design, analyze, and integrate avionics thermal management for unmanned aircraft. Perform heat transfer and CFD modeling, support trade studies and hardware design, plan and execute thermal tests, correlate models with data, and communicate findings to stakeholders.

Lead thermal design, analysis, and integration for UAV avionics and custom power electronics. Develop and validate hand-calculation, CFD, and numerical models. Drive trade studies, test planning, instrumentation, and model correlation. Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and influence PCB/part selection and enclosure thermal designs to meet aerospace requirements.

Lead hardware reliability efforts for VBAT flight hardware: implement design-for-reliability, run environmental and stress tests (HALT/HASS, temperature cycling, vibration), perform failure analysis and root-cause investigations, support FMEA/design reviews, shape materials and manufacturing requirements, analyze field/test data with reliability models, and drive corrective actions and process improvements.

Design and own flight‑critical electrical subsystems for autonomous aircraft, including analog/digital/FPGA/power systems. Lead PCB design, bring‑up, testing (HALT), reliability, cross‑functional reviews, project execution, and mentoring.
