2027 Spring Co-Op, Surgical Development Engineer (ME/BME Focus)

Join Zimmer Biomet's Development Co-Op Program! Our co-op program is a multi-rotational commitment aligned to your school's cooperative program curriculum. While at ZB, students will act as engineers managing daily research and development tasks in a global MedTech organization. As part of the Development Co-Op cohort, you are encouraged to bring innovative solutions to real world challenges. Co-Op managers and ambassadors encourage the development of our student team members by offering technical trainings, certifications, workshops, networking sessions and more, in addition to daily work life. Students interested in this opportunity should be able to rotate 3-5 times at Zimmer Biomet, including Spring and Fall full-time work assignments, and should be willing to temporarily relocate for on-site assignments. Generally speaking, development co-ops are responsible for the design, development, and processing of orthopedic implants, instruments and technologies under the direction of a project leader or manager.
