R&D Intern: Medical Device Prototyping & Microfluidics

We are seeking a motivated Research & Development Intern to assist in the design, fabrication, and testing of an innovative plasma separation device. This role is ideal for a student or recent graduate in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field who is passionate about hands-on prototyping and medical diagnostics.

Key Responsibilities

• CAD Design & Iteration: Develop and refine 3D models of microfluidic components and device housings using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360).
• Rapid Prototyping: Operate and maintain 3D printers (SLA/FDM) to produce high-fidelity prototypes for experimental testing.
• Experimental Testing: Assist in benchtop fluidic testing to evaluate plasma separation efficiency and device performance.
• Documentation: Maintain detailed records of design iterations, print parameters, and test results to support the development cycle.

Required Skills

• HIGHLY proficient in 3D CAD modeling.
• Hands-on experience with 3D printing technologies and post-processing.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and a "maker" mindset for troubleshooting hardware.
• Ability to work independently in a laboratory or workshop environment.
