Growing Massachusetts Talent: Spotlight on Miguel Burgos at MRSI Mycronic
At MRSI Mycronic, we believe the most powerful innovations start with people. Through partnerships with Massachusetts educators and workforce organizations, we’re helping students explore real-world STEM careers—and we are also welcoming emerging talent into our own teams. One great example is Miguel Burgos, a newly appointed Service Engineer whose path from the classroom to advanced electronics manufacturing reflects what these collaborations can make possible.
Spotlight: Miguel Burgos
Miguel joined MRSI Mycronic as a Service Engineer after being introduced to the company through the MIT Microphotonics Center. He is completing a Computer Science degree at Boston University and has also been active in MassTech initiatives focused on developing local technical talent. In his role, Miguel helps support customers and keep critical systems running—work that blends hands-on problem solving with the kind of technical foundation he has built through his studies.
MRSI Mycronic has built strong relationships with organizations such as MIT and MassTech to connect academic programs with opportunities in advanced manufacturing. Recently, our team joined a STEM Career Speaker Roundtable at Lowell High School, hosted with Connecting Activities and the school’s College and Career Center. The event brought together professionals from engineering, medicine, IT, education, and entrepreneurship to share career pathways and answer student questions.
Representing MRSI Mycronic at the roundtable was Peter Cronin, North America Director of Sales, who spoke with students about how electronics manufacturing impacts everyday life—and the kinds of skills and experiences that can open doors in the field. Earlier this year, student groups also visited MRSI to learn about roles across engineering, service, and operations, and to see advanced manufacturing in action.
More than 160 students from Lowell High School’s Project Lead the Way Engineering classes and Middlesex Community College attended. Many used the opportunity to link STEM classes to local jobs and learn from regional professionals.
These collaborations—together with programs such as MassTech and Connecting Activities—help strengthen the pipeline of skilled talent needed for the future of manufacturing in Massachusetts. We’re proud to support students as they explore what is possible in STEM, and we are equally proud to welcome early-career professionals like Miguel to MRSI Mycronic, where they can continue learning while making an immediate impact.
