About this role

Job Opportunity: Mechanical Design Project Leader (Robotics & Automation with Fameccanica in Boston Hub (Middleton, MA)

 

Build something from the ground up—without startup risk.

Fameccanica North America is launching a new Robotics & Automation Engineering Hub just north of Boston, and we’re looking for a Mechanical Design Project Leader to help build it.

This is a rare chance to join a small, high-impact team at the ground level. You’ll help shape project execution, system design, and team operations—while benefiting from the support of a global organization with proven technology, established customers, and existing production infrastructure.

If you’re energized by ownership, meaningful engineering work, and seeing your designs move from concept to reality, this role is worth a conversation.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead mechanical design for robotics and automation projects
  • Coordinate engineering work across mechanical, electrical, and software teams
  • Manage projects from concept and design through build, testing, and delivery
  • Support assembly and testing by troubleshooting design issues in real time
  • Help develop project plans, schedules, and technical proposals
  • Mentor junior engineers and support team growth
  • Join client discussions, design reviews, and key project milestones

What You Bring

  • 5-10 years of mechanical design experience in automation, robotics, or machinery
  • Experience leading or coordinating technical projects
  • Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Solid Edge, or similar)
  • Ability to balance hands-on design work with project leadership
  • Strong problem-solving skills and comfort in a fast-paced environment
  • Clear communication across teams, functions, and, at times, with clients

Why This Role Is Different

  • Ground-floor impact – Help shape a new engineering hub from day one
  • True engineering environment – Design, prototype, and build systems on-site
  • Global collaboration – Partner with experienced engineers in the U.S. and Italy
  • Startup energy, stable backing – High ownership with the support of a global company
  • Growth potential – Join a team expected to expand significantly

Additional Details

  • Location: Middleton, MA (north of Boston)
  • Travel: Approximately 15%-30%
