Employment Opportunities at Material Systems Inc.

Materials Systems Inc. (MSI) is a leader in the design and manufacture of advanced acoustic transducers for sonar and ultrasound systems. Our piezocomposite transducers are the leading-.edge technology in high performance defense sonar, such as countermeasures, weapons sonar, hull arrays, surveillance arrays and mine-hunting arrays. As a result of growth in these applications for our transducer products, MSI needs engineers and technicians to design, develop and build acoustic transducers and arrays for advanced sonar systems and transition these through prototyping into production for our systems OEM customers.

Principal Acoustics Engineer
Reporting to the Vice President for Engineering, you will be responsible for providing technical leadership and mentoring to our transducer engineering group, managing sophisticated transducer engineering programs, and opening up pioneering new applications for our piezocomposite transducers. Your leadership experience will enable you to direct the implementation of transducer designs and bring together MSI’s acoustical, materials, electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines to meet or exceed customer expectations. You will manage prototype fabrication through our applications engineering group and assist with the transition to manufacturing. You will have the responsibility for interacting with customers and managing engineering programs to budget and schedule. Your ability to work with others and lead in a team environment is presumed. Experience with earned value program management is a plus.

US citizenship is required for this position. Minimum technical requirements are a BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, or Physics plus at least 10 years of relevant experience. An advanced degree is preferred.

Senior Acoustics Engineer
You will be able to translate our sonar systems customers’ sonar and ultrasound requirements into novel transducer designs that leverage MSI’s unique piezocomposite technology. Your leadership experience will enable you to oversee customer-funded programs and direct the implementation of your designs through engineering and into production so as to meet or exceed customer expectations. A BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, or Physics is required with 5-10 years’ experience in acoustic systems or transducer development. An advanced degree is preferred.

Electrical Engineer
You will be responsible for the design, fabrication, testing and evaluation of electro-acoustic transducers. You must be familiar with computer programming (Labview preferred), analog/digital circuits, electrical test and measurement. Minimum BSEE with 1-3 years of experience. Knowledge of electro-acoustics and CAD/CAM preferred.

Electro-Mechanical Technician
A hands-on electro-mechanical technician is needed to work under the supervision of our engineering staff. The ideal candidate will have solid experience with mechanical assembly, machining, electrical test, wiring and soldering. Knowledge of materials and/or electrical test & measurement are a plus. Candidate must have an AS degree or equivalent and 5+ years of experience.


MSI is located 30 miles northwest of Boston in an attractive suburban environment, close to city amenities. We offer a competitive benefits package, including 401(k) and stock option plan.  MSI is an equal opportunity employer M/F/D/V.
