Combination Device Intern

Job Description: This internship provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in product development, controls and automation, and laboratory research. The application deadline for this co-op is November 15th. Please note that the company’s reviews applications on a rolling basis and reserves the right to close this job posting prior to the listed deadline. The internship takes place in Spring. Position Responsibilities: Device Technologies & Innovation is the company’s domain-grounded group for making the 2027 Human + AI workforce real in combination product development. This co-op is among the first headcount for this group — a founding role that will help establish the group's analytical and enabling technology capabilities from the ground up. This co-op position offers a unique opportunity for a highly motivated MS or PhD student to actively contribute to the advancement of the company’s Biopharma CGT Combination Device Analytical Development capabilities. The individual will play a pivotal role in helping build and enhance new capabilities for the Device COE's Center of Excellence for combination device analytical development, with a specific focus on pioneering and implementing cutting-edge enabling technologies. This includes gaining hands-on experience with advanced non-destructive analytical techniques such as applied spectroscopy (Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis), Chemical Hyperspectral Imaging, Vacuum Decay, Helium Leak Detection, and MicroCurrent High-Voltage Leak Detection (HVLDmc) — crucial for ensuring the quality and integrity of combination products, particularly autoinjectors and cell therapy delivery systems. The co-op will also contribute to AI-assisted analytical workflows, process automation, and digital tools that operate at the intersection of experimental data and GMP process models — translating the company’s internal scientific knowledge into deployable enabling technology for combination product programs. Career Launchpad: Build skills, explore career paths, and get guidance for your future career. Required Qualifications: On-Site: work five days per week on-site with ad hoc flexibility between Providence, RI and Boston, MA. Currently enrolled in an MS or PhD program in Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry, Applied Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field. Strong theoretical and practical understanding of analytical chemistry, material science, or spectroscopy principles. Experience with laboratory techniques and instrumentation, including spectroscopic methods (FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis) and/or non-destructive testing techniques (Vacuum Decay, HVLD, functional testing of medical devices). Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen eye for detail. Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team-oriented research environment. Strong written and verbal communication skills for presenting findings and contributing to documentation. Legal authorization to work in the United States, now and in the future.
