Field Service Engineer
FORMULATRIX (Boston, MA)
Territory: East Coast
Travel: Up to 60%
Employment Type: Full-Time
Salary Range: $85,000 - $90,000 (Compensation will be tailored based on experience, qualifications, and overall fit)
Formulatrix, headquartered in Dubai, UAE, requires hard work and dedication from our employees, and we are committed to hiring only the best of the best. All support and management employees work 45 hour work weeks. In return, Formulatrix offers a rewarding compensation package including base salary, bonuses, profit sharing, health and dental benefits, AFLAC supplemental insurance, a 401K retirement plan, an informal work environment, and excellent growth opportunities.
Job Description
Formulatrix, the leading provider of protein crystallization automation and liquid handling solutions, seeks a field engineer to join our world-class support team. You should enjoy working with people, take pride in fixing customer issues, and enjoy travel. The best person for this position thinks on their feet, learns quickly, and enjoys tinkering with hardware as well as software. This position will be primarily focused (but not necessarily limited to) on our line of liquid handling and protein crystallography instruments.
You will troubleshoot high-end biotech automation equipment, enabling researchers to keep searching for the next cure. Our products are used for drug research and assay development. In addition to protein crystallography automated microscopy imagers, we also provide automated liquid handlers -- one day you might be digging into a log file to determine why an image isn’t following an imaging schedule; another you might be figuring out why a liquid handler isn’t dispensing properly -- and the next you might be demonstrating new features of the latest software to a customer group.
You will report to the North American Support Manager, work alongside a team of dedicated engineers, and provide feedback to product managers and the documentation manager.
Responsibilities
- On-site installations and maintenance of lab equipment on the east coast, and possibly across the U.S. depending on the needs of our customers and the schedules of other support engineers.
- Customer training and support from home and in the field, via phone, email, or remote access tools such as TeamViewer.
- Up to 60% overnight travel. This means up to 60% of your time could be spent traveling (usually by flight) anywhere within the US or Canada, or (on very rare occasions) potentially even beyond, depending on the situation.
- Record customer interactions and issues in the internal CRM database.
- Provide detailed notes of on-site support work.
- Follow up with engineers and product managers to ensure customer issues have been addressed.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in field service, application engineering, or technical customer support preferred.
- An Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Science or Engineering is desirable but not required.
- Affinity for fixing things
- Comfortable with computers, networking, and basic IT-related activities.
- Quick learner with strong interpersonal skills.
- Experience with robotics, software, microfluidics, and optics are a plus.

Field Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a field engineer in Massachusetts?
Most field engineer roles in Massachusetts require a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or systems engineering from an accredited program. While Massachusetts does not mandate a state-issued professional engineer license for most private-sector field engineer positions, those performing licensed engineering work must register with the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Employers in defense, life sciences, and energy sectors typically also expect relevant certifications and demonstrated hands-on technical experience.
Which companies hire field engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring field engineers in Massachusetts right now include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Teradyne, and Arrow Electronics, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense contractors, medical device manufacturers, and energy infrastructure companies means field engineer openings appear consistently across both large employers and specialized regional firms.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most field engineer jobs?
Boston, Massachusetts, and Canton are the Massachusetts cities with the most field engineer openings. Boston drives volume through its dense cluster of life sciences, technology, and healthcare employers, while Waltham and Lowell attract openings from defense contractors and advanced manufacturing companies that have long maintained engineering campuses in those suburban corridors.
Are there remote field engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. Field engineering is fundamentally a hands-on, on-site discipline, so fully remote roles represent a small share of the market. About 57% of field engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be project coordination, technical support, or pre-sales engineering roles rather than positions requiring physical installation or commissioning work.
How can I get hired as a field engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a field service technician or junior systems engineer role, which large Massachusetts employers in defense and life sciences regularly staff with recent engineering graduates. Companies such as Raytheon Technologies and GE Vernova run structured new-graduate programs that rotate candidates through field assignments. Pursuing a Certified Field Technician credential and building hands-on experience through co-ops at Massachusetts engineering schools also gives candidates a measurable edge with local hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to field engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to field engineer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your background and target location, and apply directly to the employer through the listing.
