Analyze, prototype, and test out mechanical concepts—using both traditional machining and cool 3D printing techniques

Help write technical reports and share your findings with the team (don’t worry, we love clear, straightforward communication)
-
Collaborate with a team of engineers from all sorts of backgrounds—your ideas matter here!
-
Support lifecycle changes, including end-of-life replacements for our imaging equipment

You’re familiar with mechanical drafting principles and product design fundamentals.
-
You’ve tried your hand at 3D fabrication, machining, or sheet metal work.
Location, pay & other important details:
-
You can work onsite at our Marlborough, MA campus. Heads up: co-op housing, relocation, and housing stipends aren’t provided, so you’ll need to have your living situation and transportation sorted out.
-
Pay range: $26 - $28 per hour, based on your class standing and operational function.
