Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer(PHd)

Job Title: Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer

Pay Rate: $70 to $75/Hr

Duration: 12 Months

Location: Newton, MA (Onsite)

This position is for the Healthcare Diagnostics Division.

We are currently looking for an ambitious Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer to join our Endovascular Robotics business within Advanced Therapies. We are a global technology leader in robotic-assisted vascular interventions. We believe the combination of endovascular robotics, image guidance, and dedicated devices will change the way neurovascular procedures will be done in the future, enabling better outcomes, and enabling our customers to provide better access to care.
