About Axon 911
Axon 911 brings together Prepared and Carbyne under Axon. Together, we are creating the only platform that combines modern 911 infrastructure with an AI intelligence layer—helping public safety agencies move faster, make better decisions, and deliver better outcomes in the moments that matter most. 911 is the backbone of public safety, yet the professionals behind it have long been held back by outdated technology. Axon 911 is here to change that. Joining this team means more than taking a job—it means helping shape the future of emergency response and building a safer, more connected world.
Your Impact
We are seeking a Staff Mechanical Engineer, Communications Hardware to own the mechanical design and development of next-generation, mission-critical hardware from concept through high-volume production.
Join us as a founding member of our Axon 911 hardware team, you will have significant ownership across the mechanical development lifecycle, helping establish the technical foundation and engineering standards needed to scale compact, ruggedized, wireless-connected devices that public safety professionals carry and rely on in the field every day.
You will partner closely with Industrial Design (ID), Electrical Engineering (EE), Radio Frequency (RF) Engineering, Product Management, and manufacturing teams to translate product requirements into robust, production-ready mechanical designs. You will balance competing constraints across durability, sealing, antenna and RF performance, thermal management, battery integration, size, weight, ergonomics, and industrial design while driving designs from early concepts through mass production.
Mechanical Design & Development
- Own mechanical design from concept through high-volume production for compact, ruggedized, wireless-connected hardware.
- Develop mechanical designs that balance product requirements across size, weight, durability, sealing, thermal performance, RF performance, manufacturability, and cost.
- Design complex mechanical components and assemblies using plastic injection molding, stamped metal, die casting, machining, adhesives, and bonded joints.
- Build and analyze high-fidelity proof-of-concept prototypes and validate designs through FEA, tolerance analysis, and physical testing.
Ruggedization & Product Integration
- Design for demanding field environments, including drop, shock, vibration, long-term durability, and IP66/IP68 dust and water ingress protection.
- Own electro-mechanical integration across PCB/PCBA, flex circuits, batteries, antennas, and other internal components.
- Develop passive thermal-management solutions to dissipate heat from electronics while maintaining compact product form factors.
- Design for carry and wear ergonomics, including belt-, holster-, and body-mounted form factors and one-handed operation.
RF, Antenna & Industrial Design Integration
- Partner with RF and electrical engineers to integrate antennas and wireless systems, including antenna placement, keep-out zones, RF-transparent material selection, and EMI/EMC shielding.
- Develop mechanical structures compatible with RF performance and FCC/IC certification requirements.
- Partner closely with Industrial Design to preserve product aesthetics, ergonomics, and UX intent without compromising durability, sealing, thermal performance, RF performance, or manufacturability.
- Resolve competing mechanical, electrical, RF, and industrial design constraints through analysis, prototyping, testing, and engineering judgment.
Design Verification, Validation & Risk Mitigation
- Translate product requirements into clear, quantifiable mechanical engineering requirements and validation targets.
- Develop and execute mechanical verification plans across environmental, structural, thermal, ingress, and durability requirements.

Search Retail Jobs in MassachusettsRetail E-3 Sponsorship Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
Which retail companies sponsor E-3 visas in Massachusetts?
TJX Companies, headquartered in Framingham, is one of the most prominent retail employers in the state and has sponsored work visas for professional roles including merchandising and corporate buying positions. National retailers with significant Massachusetts operations, such as Wayfair and Stop & Shop's parent Ahold Delhaize, have also filed work visa sponsorships for specialty occupation roles in areas like data analytics, e-commerce, and supply chain management.
Which cities in Massachusetts have the most retail E-3 sponsorship jobs?
Boston and its surrounding metro area, including Framingham, Newton, and Waltham, account for the largest share of retail E-3 visa sponsorship opportunities in Massachusetts. Boston's Seaport and Back Bay districts host retail corporate offices and flagships, while Framingham is a major retail headquarters hub. Worcester and Springfield also have retail operations but generate fewer professional-level sponsorship roles compared to Greater Boston.
What types of retail roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship?
E-3 sponsorship requires the position to meet the specialty occupation standard, meaning it must normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. In retail, roles that commonly qualify include merchandise planning analyst, e-commerce product manager, retail data analyst, demand forecasting specialist, and buyer or category manager. General retail associate, store manager, and sales floor positions typically do not meet the specialty occupation threshold for E-3 purposes.
How do I find retail E-3 sponsorship jobs in Massachusetts?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by visa type, industry, and state to surface retail roles in Massachusetts where employers have a history of E-3 or comparable work visa sponsorship. Because E-3 sponsorship depends on both the employer's willingness and the role qualifying as a specialty occupation, Migrate Mate's filters help you focus your applications on positions that are genuinely viable rather than applying broadly and hoping for the best.
Are there any Massachusetts-specific considerations for retail E-3 sponsorship?
Massachusetts has some of the strongest worker protections in the country, which can influence how employers approach visa sponsorship timelines and employment agreements. The state also has a highly competitive professional job market centered on Boston, meaning retail corporate roles in analytics, buying, and e-commerce attract strong local candidate pools. Employers may expect familiarity with the New England retail calendar, including the outsized importance of the back-to-school and holiday seasons for regional consumer behavior.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 retail jobs in Massachusetts?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
