Biomedical Engineering Intern

Job Description:

POSITION SUMMARY:

TransMedics is transforming organ transplantation through the Organ Care System (OCS), an advanced medical technology platform that integrates hardware, software, and clinical science. Our Biomedical Engineering team works across test engineering, laboratory operations, and product development to ensure system performance and reliability. 

The Biomedical Engineering Intern will support a range of technical activities including test engineering, clinical lab support, circuit board calibration, equipment assembly, software setup, and data analysis. This role offers hands-on experience at the intersection of engineering and biomedical science within a regulated medical device environment.  This internship is ideal for students who enjoy both lab work and technical system development. 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

This position is responsible for, but not limited to, the following:

Test Engineering & System Support 

• Assist with test engineering activities and protocol execution 

• Support circuit board calibration and verification 

• Assist with equipment assembly and system configuration 

• Support software setup and system troubleshooting 

Clinical Lab & Experimental Support 

• Provide support within the clinical lab environment 

• Assist with experiment setup and execution 

• Maintain accurate documentation of procedures and results

Data & Software Support 

• Analyze experimental and system performance data 

• Support development or modification of software tools 

• Utilize programming tools such as MATLAB, Python, or LabVIEW 

• Contribute to documentation and reporting of findings 

Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Work alongside engineering, research, and clinical teams 

• Follow quality and safety protocols 

• Participate in troubleshooting and problem-solving discussions 

What You’ll Learn 

• How biomedical systems integrate hardware, software, and laboratory processes 

• Fundamentals of medical device testing and calibration 

• Data analysis in a regulated engineering environment 

• Practical application of programming tools in biomedical contexts 

• Cross-functional collaboration within product development and research 

Why This Internship Stands Out 

This role provides exposure to both engineering systems and clinical laboratory environments, allowing interns to apply multidisciplinary coursework in a real-world medical device setting with meaningful clinical impact. 

MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

This position does not have direct reports.
