Join Our Hardware R&D Team: Engineering Interns Wanted for a Summer of Innovation!
Ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into hands-on engineering projects? Our Hardware R&D team is where ideas turn into real-world solutions. As a summer intern, you’ll help design, build, and test hardware that powers the future of healthcare. We’re a friendly bunch who love sharing knowledge and supporting each other—and we can’t wait to meet someone as curious and ambitious as you!
What you’ll be up to during your 10-12 week adventure:
+ Design and create test fixtures, manufacturing tools, and instrument hardware using CAD software (Solidworks is our go-to!).
+ Build and assemble prototype parts using 3D printing and machine shop equipment—yes, you get to make stuff!
+ Crunch the numbers with tolerance analyses, FEA, and statistical methods to help us perfect our designs.
+ Develop and write automation code for mechanical, optical, and electrical testing (Python, JMP, or Matlab skills come in handy).
+ Summarize your findings in clear technical reports and presentations, and share your work with senior leadership at the end.
Who we’re hoping to meet:
+ You can work full-time during the summer (May/June - August/September).
+ You’re currently working on your Bachelor’s degree, with at least one semester left after the internship.
+ Your major is Mechanical, Biomedical, or a related engineering field.
+ You’re heading into your junior or senior year.
+ You know how to get your point across, whether you’re writing or speaking.
+ You’ve dabbled with CAD software (Solidworks is a plus).
+ You’re not afraid of rapid prototyping, laser cutting, or hands-on machine shop tools.
+ Programming in Python, LabVIEW, or Matlab makes you feel right at home.
+ You’re always ready to learn new technical skills and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
Location, pay & other important details:
+ You can work onsite at our San Diego, CA campus. Heads up: intern housing, relocation, and housing stipends aren’t provided, so you’ll need to have your living situation and transportation sorted out.
+ Pay range: $22 - $28 per hour, based on your class standing and operational function.
+ The chance to work with a team that’s genuinely invested in your growth.
+ Networking, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities—all designed to help you thrive.
