Assignment Details
This is a full-time, six-month Engineering Internship / Cooperative Education (Co-op) assignment for a current student. It offers internship-style learning, mentorship, and meaningful project work, but it is not a traditional summer internship. Candidates must be available for the full January through June 2027 assignment in San Francisco.
Responsibilities & Opportunities
- Use requirements for our medical device and software to write test cases that check both whether the features work as intended and whether they can fail under certain conditions.
- Confirm that the software tools we use in development and testing (but that aren't part of the medical device itself) work correctly and reliably.
- Record and share your test results in a clear way (for example, in reports or Jira tickets) so the team can easily understand the issue and take action.
- Look into problems, try to reproduce them, and test fixes to make sure the issue is really resolved before release.
About You
- Pursuing a degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- Ability to commit to time frame of June - December 2026.
- Hands-on experience with electrical equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, DMMs, etc.).
- Able to share ideas clearly and work both on your own and with teammates from different areas.
Bonus Points for preferred qualifications
- Prior experience in medical devices or another regulated industry.
- Scripting or programming skills (e.g., Python, SQL) and familiarity with software development processes.
