About The Position

Varex Imaging is seeking a motivated undergraduate engineering student for an internship supporting the review, testing, organization, and improvement of Design and Development File (DDF) documentation for legacy products in alignment with ISO 13485 requirements. The intern will work with Manufacturing, Design, Quality, and Regulatory professionals to evaluate engineering records, identify documentation gaps, improve traceability, and help assemble clear, complete technical documentation. The role provides exposure to how requirements, drawings, risk management, testing, manufacturing processes, and design changes interact across the lifecycle of a regulated product. The internship offers practical exposure to the engineering lifecycle of regulated products and collaboration across engineering, quality, and regulatory disciplines. Prior medical-device or regulatory experience is not required. The position is part-time, hourly, and listed as an intern (fixed term/trainee).
