    • Quality engineering in a regulated industry

    APPLY NOW AND START BUILDING YOUR FUTURE

    Turn classroom knowledge into real-world impact. Our Engineering Internships put you inside live projects, real production environments, and cross-functional teams where your ideas matter. Gain hands-on experience, solve meaningful challenges, and help bring innovative medical products to life and be a part of advancing patient outcomes worldwide.

    Engineer what matters while building the skills and experience that last.

    By the end of this internship, you won’t just understand the process, you’ll experience it firsthand. You’ll see how injection-molded medical components move from concept to commercialization, gaining exposure to the full New Product Introduction (NPI) lifecycle along the way.

    You’ll tackle real production challenges, apply practical engineering problem-solving, and learn how quality and inspection systems are developed and validated in a regulated environment. Just as importantly, you’ll build the professional skills that set engineers apart, collaborating across operations, quality, sourcing, and suppliers while contributing to design reviews, reports, and presentations that drive meaningful progress.
