Machinist jobs in Boston, MA

Group 72 - Fabrication Engineering

MIT Lincoln Laboratory pushes the boundaries of science and engineering to design, model, and fabricate technologies and prototype systems for national security applications. These mission areas include space imaging and data processing, high energy lasers, long range laser communications, ground-based radars, and undersea communication terminals. Within MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the Fabrication Engineering Group works with program teams from initial design through manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing to fabricate low-volume advanced hardware. Our core PCB capabilities include automated solder paste printing, precision pick and place machines, and automated optical inspection systems. Our core mechanical competencies span precision fabrication, diamond turning, EDM machining, additive manufacturing, and 5-axis machining. Our core assembly, integration, and test capabilities include program integration spaces, cleanrooms, vibration testing, and space simulation chambers.

The precision fabrication shop supports laboratory efforts by providing fabrication expertise and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams provide innovative solutions that meet the increasingly demanding prototype system performance requirements. The candidate will also need to be comfortable working with a measure of autonomy; this requires a candidate with the ability to multitask and work independently with minimal supervision for periods of time. The Group continually researches and identifies state of the art technologies that can be leveraged to effectively support current and future program needs, which presents opportunities to continuously learn new skills or grow their expertise.
