Top Engineering Jobs in Boston, MA

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 design, integration, and fielding of autonomy software on unmanned platforms. Develop mission behaviors, platform control, multi-agent coordination, and deployment pipelines; own validation from simulation to live tests. Drive technical strategy, cross-team architecture, standards compliance, mentor senior engineers, and support on-site test/mission operations and hardware/software debugging.

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.

Design and implement high-quality embedded C/C++ software for X-BAT UAV avionics, integrate across firmware, autonomy, and GCS; participate in architecture and code reviews; build test systems including virtualized and HIL simulations; develop CI tooling, prototypes, and technical documentation; collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams and report to leadership.

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.

Develop, integrate, and test high-quality embedded C/C++ avionics software for X-BAT UAVs, interfacing with sensors, firmware, autonomy systems, and GCS; design CI/HIL test systems, produce documentation, and collaborate across cross-functional teams.

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.

Design, implement, and own tactical autonomy behaviors for unmanned platforms. Develop and test multi-agent coordination, motion and behavior planning, target engagement, and survivability features. Work across the software lifecycle, integrate with sensor, estimation, communications, and control systems, contribute to shared frameworks, and support platform integration and testing (travel up to 20%).

Integrate autonomy software onto unmanned aircraft, prepare and validate flight-ready systems, support on-site flight tests, debug hardware/software integration, capture and analyze flight data, collaborate with autonomy/GNC/systems teams, improve integration processes, and assist with certification and compliance. Travel ~30-40% for tests and field events.

Design, analyze, and validate aircraft power electronics (HV/LV systems, DC-DC converters, inverters, motor controllers, battery/BMS). Own full hardware lifecycle: modeling, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, testing (HALT), verification, and cross-functional collaboration. Lead design reviews and manage program timelines to meet aerospace reliability and manufacturability standards.
