The program
Be part of exciting projects while honing your professional skills. The Research & Development Leadership Development Program (RDLDP) is designed to help talented engineering students develop the technical skills, business acumen, and cross-functional proficiencies to lead and create innovative ideas, products, and services for people around the world.
The opportunity
Full-time (two-year, US, Canada, and France based)
- Opportunities to participate and/or lead in rotational assignments encompassing entire project or a large portion of a major project. This may include resolving advanced materials, process, inspection/testing or procedural approaches to advance a medical device through the pipeline process into full R&D, and potentially into commercialization
- Support of products’ design development, manufacturing, and commercialization, leveraging technical expertise to anticipate and proactively address challenges and risks
- Opportunities to design new product including building simulation models, developing kinematics models, and performing stack-up analysis
- Engineer capabilities required to develop and deliver automated medical devices - including requisite instruments, advanced imaging, and user interface/experience
- Perform deliverables involving fundamental research and characterization, process/product development, process/product improvement, test method development, and/or equipment development
- Pursue several internal developmental training programs as well as externally recognized qualifications such as Design of Experiments (DOE), Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and Tolerance Analysis
- Opportunity to work in a fast-paced cross functional, technologically advanced corporate environment in a program focused on developing individual engineers capable of pursuing careers across medical device businesses and high-volume manufacturers
Internship program (12 weeks over summer)
An introduction to various R&D platforms, focusing on selecting high performers for the full-time program upon graduation.
Who we’re looking for
By participating in the program, you’ll receive quality classroom training, allowing you to connect with your RDLDP peers and the broader R&D community. You’ll also receive exciting internal development training opportunities and externally recognized qualifications, like process design excellence, to help advance your career path. There are also opportunities to gain a strong foundation in the technical skills, business acumen and cross-functional proficiencies you need to succeed as an R&D leader.
