R&D Engineering Summer Intern

Stellartech Research Corp • Milpitas, CA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Founded in 1988, and headquartered in Milpitas, CA, Stellartech Research Corporation (SRC) is a world leader in the development of innovative devices for both large, established companies and early-stage start-ups in the medical industry. The medical systems we develop, and manufacture typically combine a complex electronic microprocessor-controlled device and a “smart” disposable. They employ cutting edge technology such as highly sophisticated energy delivery modalities, cloud-based wireless communication and advanced imaging capability. Our commitment to a “Multiphysics” approach and the mastery of the scientific principles necessary for design realization has allowed us to achieve medical breakthroughs and pioneer many “firsts” in the industry. These include the first temperature-controlled RF generator for cardiac ablation, the first monopolar capacitive RF tissue remodeling system for cosmetic use, and the first balloon-based system for esophageal ablation. With over 25 years of success, we’re continually developing new ideas to serve specialized markets in the medical industry.
