About the Role
This internship offers a hands-on opportunity to work directly on the development of Panther’s SmartPatch technology, providing broad experience across device development, materials, formulation, testing, and manufacturing. You will gain practical experience in experimental design, device characterization, failure analysis, statistical analysis, CAD, technical documentation, and hands-on product development, which is highly relevant for future careers in medical devices, biotech, pharmaceutical development, biomedical engineering, R&D, product development, and manufacturing engineering.
Responsibilities
- Conduct microneedle characterization studies using pre-clinical skin models, including donor skin.
- Perform failure mode analysis and material testing to inform critical design decisions, including stability, force, and optical testing.
- Fabricate dissolvable microneedle arrays for testing and characterization, applying working knowledge of Panther's formulation and manufacturing processes.
- Design and prototype custom test fixtures in 3D CAD to enable controlled, repeatable device characterization.
- Design experiments (DOE) to isolate test variables, and perform statistical analysis to support design decisions.
- Document work thoroughly and write technical reports summarizing findings and conclusions.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing or obtained a degree in Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Hands-on laboratory experience building, preparing, testing, or characterizing materials or devices, ideally involving biomaterials, polymers, medical devices, or drug delivery.
- Experience with mechanical or material testing, such as force, strength, stability, failure, penetration, or other material properties.
- Experience using test results to troubleshoot problems and improve a material, process, or device design.
- Experience with CAD, prototyping, experimental design, DOE, statistics, and/or analyzing test data to support engineering decisions.
