I have a friend trying to hire right now in Waltham for other positions at a medical device company - right now neither of the openings are for engineering the devices specifically, there's a computer engineer position and something not-engineering that I'm applying for. But I don't know where they'll be at by summer, it's a small but growing company. And I have another friend who works for a different medical device company in Nashua.

No idea what specific devices either company creates but I'm happy to help network. Both are SCA connections, people I've known for years (the person who works in Nashua is also one of my neighbors).
