Undergraduate Engineering Intern - Microfabrication

Mayo Clinic•Rochester, MN

6d•Onsite

About The Position

Mayo Clinic’s Division of Engineering develops custom medical devices for physicians and researchers, spanning applications from bench-top research to patient care. The Microfabrication Laboratory is seeking an undergraduate student in engineering, materials science, or a related technical field to gain hands-on experience in microfabrication and medical-device development. The intern will support fabrication, testing, and characterization of medical microdevices, including thin-film electrode arrays, microfluidic devices, and other microsystems. Assignments may vary with active projects and laboratory needs, providing exposure to fabrication technologies, device applications, and clinical problems. The intern will work on a multidisciplinary engineering team under the guidance of experienced engineers and laboratory staff. With instruction and mentoring appropriate to their experience, the intern will develop technical skills and increasing independence, applying concepts from undergraduate coursework in a practical engineering setting. This is a full-time, on-site internship in Rochester, Minnesota, running from May or June through December 2027.

Requirements
