Summer R&D Device Engineer Intern/Co-op

Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine is recruiting for a R&D Device Engineer Intern/Co-op located in Malvern, PA. The term of this position will span six (6) months from the start date. Start date will be flexible based on the candidate's academic calendar with a target start date between May and June 2025. This is a full-time position requiring execution of job responsibilities during normal business hours Monday thru Friday. The J&J Flex policy will apply for this position, which requires you to perform work responsibilities at the Malvern site no fewer than three (3) days per week with discretionary remote work on Friday and one (1) additional weekday. Please note that the J&J Flex policy is subject to change at any time and without prior notice. No guarantee of remote work participation is made for the entire six (6) month duration of the internship/co-op term. Re-location assistance is not offered for this position.

• You will be expected to perform your job responsibilities independently with guidance only as needed under the supervision and mentorship of an engineer.
• You will advance the design, development, and manufacture of catheter components for the transurethral transport of intravesical drug products, which will include experimental study and rigorous documentation.
• You will contribute to the design, development, and improvement of device components and associated manufacturing processes for intravesical drug delivery systems, which may include creating detailed 3D models and engineering drawing layouts for use in component fabrication and manufacturing.
• You will engage with the rapid prototyping team to design experimental aids, which may include mechanical testing aids and fixturing for controlled positioning and displacement of test units with applied mechanical loads.
• You will perform mechanical loading experiments using tabletop instrumentation such as mechanical load frames and force transducers to evaluate product performance.
• You will develop R&D lab-scale machine vision measurement methods for micron-scale component inspection and support test and inspection method development and transfer activities between R&D and external manufacturing sites.
• You will actively participate in external manufacturing partner coordination meetings, product design review meetings, technical review meetings, document review meetings, and engineering workshops for the sharing of technical findings and troubleshooting of technical issues. You may also participate in product quality complaint investigations assisting with root cause analysis.
• You will author and contribute to written deliverables in compliance with the J&J Innovative Medicine Combination Product Development Process governance and other Quality Management System processes as applicable. Written deliverables may include, but are not limited to, protocols and reports associated with product and component performance testing, test method development and validation activities, design verification activities, design change activities, and process change activities. You may also contribute to the routine maintenance of internally published documents such as design verification plan documentation, traceability matrix documentation, technical design requirements documentation, technical product drawings, user needs documentation, and product risk management documentation such as Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEAs).
• At the conclusion of your internship/co-op term, you will deliver an oral presentation to the device engineering team and/or broader department capturing your project contributions and significance of those contributions.
• Throughout the internship/co-op term, opportunities may arise for observation and/or participation in human factors evaluations simulating end use of the products under development using in vivo, ex vivo, or in vitro models.

• Currently enrolled in an ABET-accredited undergraduate Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering program pursuing a BS or dual BS/MS degree. Other undergraduate-level engineering disciplines will be considered based on demonstrated ability to meet the requirements of the position.

• GPA 3.0 or higher; unofficial transcript will be reviewed for relevant coursework and good academic standing.
• Satisfactory completion of, or enrollment in, the following courses: calculus, physics, elementary mechanics (statics and dynamics), thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.
• Demonstrated proficiency using Microsoft 365 suite especially Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Use of Microsoft OneDrive and associated cloud server-based file sharing (e.g., SharePoint) will be required.

• Satisfactory completion of, or enrollment in, the following courses: statistics, computer programming, materials science, metrology, non-destructive evaluation and inspection, materials testing, mechanical design and analysis, manufacturing processes (covering process technologies such as extrusion, injection molding, net shaping operations, joining and assembly operations, and additive manufacturing), quality and reliability, computational modeling and analysis (e.g., finite element analysis or computational fluid dynamics and use of, and command over, multiphysics solvers for generating models and performing engineering analysis), mechanical or medical device product design, statistical modeling, heat transfer, systems dynamics and controls
• Prior experience operating load frames such as Instron or Zwick models and the accompanying software applications, Bluehill Universal or testXpert.
• Prior experience operating machine vision measurement equipment and developing methods and inspection routines for use with vision measurement equipment such as Keyence or Micro Vu.
• Proficiency in CAD modeling techniques using Solidworks as well as proficiency in converting 3D model definition into engineering drawings following the family of ASME Y14 standards, specifically product definition, drawing creation and revision, and GD&T.
• Demonstrated ability to read, write, interpret and troubleshoot at least one of the common high-level computer coding languages relevant for engineering and/or statistical analysis such as R, Python, MATLAB, C++, C#.
• Understanding and application of statistical analysis software such as Minitab, JMP or SPSS.
• Six Sigma training, certification or intent to pursue certification.

• This position requires a broad mix of hands-on laboratory, computer processing, and so-called "knowledge" work unique to those trained in the engineering discipline. Assignments will require intensive documentation and communication. You will be expected to balance several concurrent workstreams and to deliver informal and timely communications to your colleagues via email, telephone and instant messaging. You will also be expected to deliver formal, organized communications via oral and written presentations detailing selection and implementation of methods, results and conclusions. The majority of communication will be delivered to technical audiences at both the contributor and management levels with occasional communication delivered to non-technical audiences.
• Domestic travel opportunities to internal J&J sites and external partner sites based on project needs and development opportunities.
• Must be able to secure transportation for timely transport to/from the workplace.
