Primary Function of Position The Engineering Graduate Intern will support the New Product Development (NPD) and New Product Introduction (NPI) teams in advancing product lifecycle practices for a major medical device organization. This role provides hands-on experience with cross-functional engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams while contributing to the process mapping and analysis efforts required for the company’s next-generation PLM transformation. The intern will collaborate with SMEs to document current processes, identify inefficiencies, and propose improvements that enable a modernized, digital product lifecycle. This position reports to the Business Applications/Engineering Systems team and plays a key role in shaping future-state process design.

  • Work with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, and Program Management teams to understand current NPD/NPI workflows and product lifecycle processes.
  • Document “as-is” business processes using industry-standard tools (e.g., Visio, Lucidchart, Miro) and develop detailed process maps, swimlane diagrams, and workflow definitions.
  • Analyze gaps, redundancies, and inefficiencies in current processes and assist in defining “to-be” processes that support the next-generation PLM strategy.
  • Participate in design control, requirements management, BOM management, and change management activities to gain hands-on experience with medical device product development.
  • Support data collection, interviews, workshops, and discovery sessions with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Assist with PLM system assessments, including evaluating usability challenges, documenting pain points, and identifying improvement opportunities.
  • Contribute to the development of business requirements, user stories, and functional specifications for the PLM modernization initiative.
  • Prepare presentations, summaries, and documentation to support leadership decision-making and project governance.
  • Strong analytical abilities with experience in process mapping, workflow design, or systems thinking.
  • Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with product development concepts such as design controls, requirements management, BOMs, or engineering change processes.
  • Interest in digital transformation, PLM systems, and medical device product lifecycle practices.
  • Proficiency with process mapping tools (Visio, Lucidchart, Miro) and standard productivity applications.
  • University Enrollment: Must be currently enrolled in and returning to an accredited degree-seeking academic program after the internship.
  • Internship Work Period: Must be available to work full-time (approximately 40 hours per week) during a 10-12 week period starting May or June. Specific start dates are shared during the recruiting process.
  • Current enrollment in a Master’s program in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Ph.D. students may be considered based on relevant background and experience.
  • Exposure to PLM tools (Agile PLM, Windchill, Teamcenter, Arena, or similar) is a plus.
  • Experience with Lean, Six Sigma, or process improvement methodologies.
  • Prior internship or project experience in medical device, manufacturing, or regulated product development environments.
  • Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) concepts.
  • Strong documentation skills and ability to translate complex processes into clear visuals.
