R&D Engineering Co-op Full Time Intern Jan-June 2027
About The Position
Join Product Development at the front end of innovation, where engineers explore promising technologies for future wearable biosensing solutions. You will contribute to feasibility studies, prototype development, sensor evaluation, structured experimentation, and data analysis. You will learn how clinical needs and engineering evidence shape product decisions while building experience working through ambiguity and communicating technical findings in a regulated environment. In this role, you will contribute directly to early-stage engineering efforts to develop wearable bio-sensors, collaborating alongside a team of multi-disciplinary engineers. You will be treated as a regular member of the engineering team, inclusive of involvement in critical projects, expectation of high-quality deliverables, and accountability for the work you do.
