ECP Product Development Co-op

What they want

• Planning and executing hands-on bench testing, including feasibility, characterization, simulated-use, and design verification testing of medical device components and systems.
• Developing and improving test methods by defining procedures, selecting equipment, designing fixtures, troubleshooting setups, and assessing measurement repeatability and robustness.
• Creating and iterating mechanical designs for product components, prototypes, and test fixtures using 3D CAD; support prototype fabrication through 3D printing, machining, or other rapid-prototyping methods.
• Collecting, analyzing, and interpreting test data; summarize results, identify trends or failure modes, and present conclusions and recommendations to the engineering team.
• Supporting root cause investigations and design improvements through structured experimentation, inspection, and collaborative problem-solving.
• Documenting test procedures, experimental results, design work, and engineering conclusions in clear technical reports and presentations while collaborating with Product Development, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, and other partners.
• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Graduate degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and enthusiasm for hands-on laboratory work, building test setups, and troubleshooting hardware.
• Foundational knowledge of mechanical design, engineering mechanics, experimental methods, and data analysis, with the ability to apply classroom concepts to practical engineering problems.
• Experience with 3D CAD software; SOLIDWORKS is preferred.
