Packaging Engineering Intern

R&D interns in Product Engineering work with cross-functional teams to identify the greatest needs for improvements on current products.

They research new technologies, customer feedback, and product performance data to make our products better for Stryker and for our customers.

Product Engineering interns work with a variety of tools, including CAD, FEA, Test Labs, and root cause analysis methods.

These interns utilize their technical education to improve the safety and efficacy of our existing products.

Test interns partner closely with Test Engineers and R&D to experiment with early prototypes and vet out product designs throughout the design process.

What this really means is that we get to be the Mythbusters of our division.

You think your design can last the entire expected service life?

We put it to the test.

Just like the show, we quickly design and build fixtures to simulate real life situations.

In addition to these experiments, we are ultimately responsible for design verification – the quantitative testing of the technical specifications of the product.

A team’s experience ranges from 2 to over 15 years with technical specialties ranging from sterilization, mechanical, electrical, software, and optics.

If you’re the type of person that has the magic ability to break things – we want you!
