Mechanical Engineering is a core capability within our product innovation business. Projects include a broad range of mechanical engineering content including: Precision mechanics, microfluidics, opto-mechanical design, kinematics and mechanism design, electro-mechanical design and integration, sensing, control, and automation.
Example recent projects have included induction heater-based commercial appliances, DNA detection equipment, surgical illumination systems, fluid pumps, and high-volume consumer products.
Mechanical Engineer
You have a solid background with 3-D CAD tools (SolidWorks and Pro/E), manufacturing processes, and lab and shop work. You are creative, energetic and passionate about solving problems. You care about the big picture and are thorough about the details. You communicate effectively, play nicely with others, love getting your hands dirty, and your attitude is mostly in-check. You know your way around a shop, can develop simple proof-of-concept prototypes, have a strong theoretical background, and at least a BSME. When presented with a steep learning curve, you derive satisfaction from using all of your talents, and acquiring new ones, to climb fast and well.
We live in the space where human centered design, technology, and engineered systems converge. Our projects include a diversity of engineering and technical content as we work to develop electro-mechanical and opto-mechanical products, medical devices, clinical diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and consumer, commercial, and industrial products. We are looking for a candidate who has had 5+ years of experience developing invasive surgical devices and instruments. But the road does not end there. Continuum develops many human centered, technology driven systems for a wide range of clients, and candidates will have the desire to be involved with programs that go well beyond the world of surgical instruments and devices.
Electrical and Software Engineering is a core capability within our product innovation business. Our projects include a broad range of electrical engineering content including: RF systems, embedded microprocessor and DSP systems, programmable logic devices, analog filter design, transducer conditioning, electromechanical subsystem interfacing, firmware and software.
Software-Hardware Test Engineer
This is a two-fold position. The candidate's primary responsibilities will be developing and performing all software testing, including unit tests using scripting languages. The candidate will oversee and execute the firmware/software quality process at Continuum, and have a central role in its ongoing refinement. He or she will be responsible for the verification and validation of embedded software and systems to detailed requirements. Knowledge of software test practices is a plus. Secondary responsibilities will be electronic hardware design, including schematic capture, overseeing board layout and prototyping, hardware testing, and integration with firmware and mechanical systems. B.S. in Electrical Engineering required. (1) Software-Hardware Test Engineer – 1-3 years exp – Boston
Embedded Systems Engineer II The candidate's primary responsibilities will be developing firmware and software for embedded applications. Platforms vary from small 8-bit microcontrollers to 32-bit microprocessors. Knowledge of real time operating systems and adherence to code standards and best practices are essential. Using oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, function generators, and spectrum analyzers for debugging and development must be second-nature. Secondary responsibilities will development of software for non-embedded platforms. These may include web based applications, desktop applications for various operating systems, or applications designed for mobile platforms. Tertiary responsibilities may include electronic hardware design, schematic capture, overseeing board layout and prototyping, hardware testing, and integration with firmware and mechanical systems. B.S. in Electrical Engineering required. (1) Software-Hardware Test Engineer – 2-4 years exp – Boston
Engagement Manager The Engagement Manager (EM) is a relatively new role to Continuum, crucial in helping us transition from a project-focused company to a client relationship-focused company. In the eyes of both the client and Continuum, this person holds ultimate responsibility for the health of the client relationship and is the point of escalation. This role has two key components, neither of which can be accomplished without the knowledge and insight gained in the other: 1) Relationship Management, or main contact and trusted advisor for the client (primarily externally facing) and 2) Account Coordination, providing leadership and integration across Continuum engagements with that client (primarily internally facing). In addition, the EM will either work closely with and/or fill the role of Business Development.
