Research Engineer, Dept. of Radiology, Jonas Lab
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
We are seeking a highly motivated Biomedical or Mechanical Engineer to support the development of novel interventional medical devices. These devices integrate needle/catheter engineering, optical imaging, and implantable microdevices to improve precision in cancer diagnostics and treatment.
Key Responsibilities
Design and prototype medical needles, catheters, and microdevices using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360)
Fabricate parts using CNC machining, 3D printing, and related tools
Assemble and test devices for preclinical (ex vivo/in vivo) and early‑stage clinical use
Collaborate with physicians, scientists, and engineers across oncology, optical imaging, and device development
Support in vivo studies in coordination with the interventional radiology and tumor biology teams
Assist with regulatory documentation and submissions for IRB and FDA pathways (e.g., IDE)
Qualifications
Education - Bachelor's Degree Related Field of Study required.
Experience - Experience in device engineering in a hospital, industry, or academic 1–2 years preferred and Experience in medical engineering 0–1 year preferred
Preferred Qualifications
Strong CAD/modeling skills (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or similar)
Hands‑on experience with
CNC machining and rapid prototyping
Familiarity with
catheter or needle‑based device development
Experience with
3D printing
for functional prototypes
Knowledge of
medical device regulatory processes
(e.g., risk assessments, design controls, IRB/FDA submission support)
Ability to
work independently
and manage multiple prototyping tasks in parallel
Location & Time Commitment
Based in
Boston/Cambridge, MA
Full‑time preferred; part‑time or flexible options available for the right candidate
Must be available for
regular in‑person lab work
(device assembly/testing, support for experiments)
About Us You will join a collaborative, fast‑paced research environment that includes engineers, optical scientists, tumor biologists, and clinicians/interventional radiologists. Our lab supports cutting‑edge medical device development from early‑stage prototyping to first‑in‑human trials.
The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. By embracing diverse skills, perspectives and ideas, we choose to lead.
