About the Role
We are seeking an initiative-taking Engineering or Science Intern to support the development and optimization of next-generation electrochemical sensor technologies for biological applications. This internship provides hands-on experience in ion-selective electrode (ISE) and metabolite sensor design, development, and manufacturing, including selected process optimization activities.
The intern will work in a fast-paced R&D and manufacturing environment, collaborating closely with scientists and engineers. Responsibilities include performing electrochemical testing, supporting signal processing efforts, analyzing complex datasets, and contributing to manufacturing process improvements that enhance sensor performance, production yield, and scalability.
This role is ideal for students interested in biotechnology, diagnostics, electrochemistry, automation, and advanced manufacturing technologies.
What You Will Do
Support ion selective electrode manufacturing and testing biological samples
Assist in metabolite sensor fabrication, verification and validationand validation studies
Contribute to electrocatalyst manufacturing process optimization initiatives
Perform electrochemical characterization techniques including:
Cyclic Voltammetry (CV)
Open Circuit Potential (OCP)
Chronoamperometry (CA)
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
Conduct data analysis and visualization using Python and JMP
Help develop innovative manufacturing and process improvement solutions to optimize sensor performance
Maintain accurate experimental records and documentation in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)
Participate in weekly technical discussions and collaborative research meetings
Support process transfer activities from R&D into production environments
Assist in generating scientific posters and technical materials for conferences such as ADLM
Contribute to automation, mechanical integration, and machine learning algorithm development projects as applicable
What You''ll Need to Have
Current enrollment in a Bachelor's or Master's degree program in:
Availability to work approximately 30-40 hours per week
Strong interest in sensor development, electrochemistry, biotechnology, or advanced manufacturing
Basic understanding of laboratory techniques and experimental documentation
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a research environment
Nice to Have
Interview Process
Our interview processes my differ slightly from role-to-role; however, most of our interviews will follow a similar pattern:
We are an early-stage company and may change our interview process from time-to-time, but our hope is everyone who interviews with us has a positive experience, even if an offer isn't presented.
