Internship - Research & Development (R&D) - Medical Device (Mechanical Engineering Undergrad.)

We are constantly looking to add to our core talent. If you are seeking a career that is challenging and rewarding, a work environment that is diverse and dynamic, look no further - Haemonetics is your employer of choice.

Internship projects vary depending on the needs of both the student and the business. Haemonetics interns are assigned to a meaningful project within the company to acquire a variety of experiences, try different skills, and learn what a future career might offer while also contributing to our innovation agenda by completing business-critical projects and assignments. The Research and Development (R&D) Internship for the NexSys Plasma Device will be located onsite 3 days/2 days remote per week in our downtown Boston HQ located at 125 Summer St.

The NexSys plasma device is a critical device in the HAE portfolio and contains several key Electrical/ Mechanical design elements that are core for our business. Hardware team members have been assigned these core design elements to better understand the technologies, opportunities to improve efficiencies/lower cost, and invest in future technologies to improve product performance.

To enable HW engineering design teams to dig deeper into these specific core competencies and design elements we need to develop specialized tools which require mechanical and electrical skills. One of those tools is called the NexSys "fold a part". A "fold a part" tool will be used to gain access to these critical design elements, dig deeper into designs and gaps, and investigate meaningful business solutions with new technologies.

The goal of the summer mechanical engineering intern would be to take the existing NexSys device, created a design that will unfold the device giving access to these key design elements. Working closely with the mechanical and electrical team the goal by the end of the summer is to have a prototype designed and built that can be used by multiple engineers for these investigations.

What You Will Do:

• Design and build 2 "Fold a Part" devices based on engineering requirements around design elements.

• Working closely with the electrical and mechanical team to perform preliminary tests to ensure performance of design elements.

• If there is additional time, execute NexSys performance tests in our onsite sound chamber and determine sources of noise.

Education/Skills:

• Undergraduate in Mechanical Engineering required
