You will work in our beautiful 13th Century barn in the heart of Ickleton, just outside central Cambridge, but still just 5 mins drive from J10 of the M11.
We would be interested to receive applications from engineering students who are looking for a placement for up to 12 months.
As a placement student you will be expected to contribute to our business (not to make the tea!). You’ll tackle real world projects and problems that will be presented to our clients, and you’ll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills to a variety of medical device development projects. You could be working on a critical care autoinjector or developing new technology for a surgical instrument targeting cancer – your work will contribute to the medical devices that will have a positive impact on peoples’ lives.
Working within the mechanical engineering group you will be supported and develop technical skills throughout your placement – it’s a fantastic career opportunity.
What you'll be doing:
Tasks and activities will depend on current projects but typically include:
- Concept generation
- Problem solving/troubleshooting
- 3D and 2D CAD design
- Math modelling and analysis
- Making prototypes, testing them and communicating findings to the Technical Lead and Project Manager
- Test rig programming
- Component and assembly testing
- Generation of presentation material
- Report writing
This is what one of our interns had to say about their time with us this year:
"I quickly became an integral part of my project team and had the freedom to design my own models, test them in the lab and then present my findings to clients once a week".
What we need from you
- A demonstrable interest for healthcare and medical products
- Studying a relevant engineering degree - a 2nd or 3rd year student
- Strong technical and research skills
Desirable
- 3D and 2D CAD ( ideally Solidworks)
- Medical device modules forming part of degree
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Finite Element Analysis ( linear and non-linear) using ANSYS
- Mathematical modelling ( e.g using Mathcad, MATLAB, Excel)
