Engineering Intern - Summer 2027

Ametek, Inc.•Pierceton, IN

20d

About The Position

The Engineering Intern supports engineering teams in commercializing medical devices, primarily for orthopedic applications in hip, knee, and spine segments. The internship offers rotations focused on design and development, manufacturing engineering, and quality engineering. The intern will support the commercialization of complex new products and is expected to have a strong technical foundation, effective communication skills, and the ability to learn quickly. In the Design and Development rotation, the intern helps conceptualize, design, and develop products; supports project activities such as timelines, prototypes, testing, and suppliers; solves design-related problems; researches and recommends materials or alternative solutions; prepares required design-control documentation; and assists with regulatory compliance. In the Manufacturing Engineering rotation, the intern supports design for manufacturability, Device Master Record development, process-flow development, risk analysis and mitigation, control-plan development, and engineering test protocols and reports. In the Quality Engineering rotation, the intern monitors quality performance for new product development, supports design for inspection and other product-development quality activities, generates gage designs, analyzes data and trends, develops sampling rationale, leads continuous-improvement projects, and may participate in internal or supplier audits. Occasional duties include special projects, participation in cadaver studies, and potentially training others after demonstrating competency.
