Job Description

Who We Are

AutonomUS is an MIT/MGH spinout building AI-enabled, ultrasound-guided robotic systems that automate life-saving medical interventions currently limited to expert physicians. Our flagship device combines real-time computer vision , robotics , and edge AI into a compact, elegant, handheld platform.

We are backed by the Department of Defense , have earned FDA Breakthrough Device Designation , and collaborate closely with a world-class team at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and leading physicians at the Massachusetts General Hospital . This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor of a high-potential medical robotics company with deep technical foundations and real-world impact.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be a foundational team member , shaping a complex, high-performance medical product. Your work will span the full AI/robotics stack, from perception to actuation, and you’ll collaborate with physician-inventors, roboticists, and systems engineers to build real-world software that matters.

You will:

• Design exceptionally clever mechanical mechanisms
• Develop production-grade hardware for FDA-regulated, safety-critical robotic medical devices
• Transition designs to manufacturing
• Design components for plastic injection molding processes
• Work within a principled engineering culture: fast-moving, deeply collaborative, zero fluff, high standards

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design of class II or class III medical devices
• Deep fluency in SOLIDWORKS
• Undergraduate, Master’s or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Biomedical Engineering, or a similarly rigorous field
• Comfort building early-stage, FDA-regulated products where iteration, precision, and speed matter
• Excellent communication skills, sharp judgment, and a team-first mindset
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to ship
• A track record of delivering results under pressure in startup, research, or production environments
• A personality that balances cordiality, emotional stability, and intellectual sharpness. We work hard, we support each other, and we aim to win.

Our Interview Process

We value clarity, capability, and follow-through. Our interview process is designed to assess your technical depth, problem-solving skills, and how you approach real-world engineering challenges.

The interview process is a multi-stage process that includes:

1. Behavioral Interview: A focused conversation to discuss mutual cultural fit, assess your foundational knowledge and experience relevant to the role.
2. Cross-Functional Technical Screen: Meet with team members from various disciplines to evaluate technical expertise, collaboration, communication, and cultural fit. We'll also explore your approach to teamwork, problem-solving under pressure, and how you contribute to a high-performing environment.

If you’re driven by purpose, excited by complexity, and capable of turning ideas into elegant life-saving technology, you’ll thrive here .

Why AutonomUS

• Build technology that literally saves lives.
• Join a world-class team across MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MGH, and the Department of Defense.
• Work on hard problems , with high autonomy , in a mission-critical environment.
• Share in the company’s future. We are laser-focused on a major exit, and our team will be rewarded accordingly.
• Help redefine how interventional medicine is delivered across the world and improve access to high-quality care in low resource environments.
• Competitive salary, 401(k), health and dental insurance.
