About the position

PA is an innovation and transformation consultancy that believes in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future. Our diverse teams of experts combine innovative thinking and breakthrough use of technologies to progress further, faster. PA’s US Engineering group is dedicated to the design of highly integrated electromechanical systems.

We have a passion for science and design, we are innately curious, and we are steadfastly committed to intellectual honesty and integrity. What binds us together is our reverence for our chosen vocation. We honor engineering—we learn it well, practice it honestly, and teach it generously. We understand the importance of creating a culture that blends continuous development, flexibility, risk-taking, and collaboration.
