Co-op, R&D Engineer

Join the Medical Imaging Engineering Team: Where Innovation Meets Real-World Impact

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and help shape the future of medical imaging? Our multidisciplinary engineering crew is on the lookout for a mechanical engineering co-op who’s eager to get hands-on with mechanical design, prototyping, and testing. You’ll collaborate with a team that’s passionate about building technology that truly makes a difference in healthcare. If you love solving puzzles and enjoy turning ideas into reality, this is the adventure for you!

What you’ll be up to during your 10-12 week adventure:

• Dive into 3D Mechanical CAD design and create 2D mechanical drawings (yes, you get to play with SolidWorks!)


• 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

Who we’re hoping to meet:

• You can work full-time during the spring co-op cycle (January - June/July).


• You’re currently working on your Bachelor’s degree, with at least one semester left after the co-op.


• Your major is Mechanical Engineering, or something closely related.


• You’re heading into your junior or senior year.


• You know how to get your point across, whether you’re writing or speaking.


• You’re a resourceful problem-solver who isn’t afraid to take initiative.


• You have experience with 3D solid modeling design tools (SolidWorks and PDM Works, specifically).


• 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.


• The chance to work with a team that’s genuinely invested in your growth.


• Networking, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities—all designed to help you thrive.
