Intern - MedTech Innovation
Carlsmed is seeking motivated and curious college students to join our team as MedTech Innovation Interns. This opportunity is ideal for junior, senior, and graduate students pursuing degrees in fields such as marketing, business, engineering, computer science, health sciences, biology, materials science, operations, data analytics, or related disciplines. As an intern, you will work alongside experienced professionals on meaningful projects that may span product development, quality, regulatory support, marketing, medical affairs, data analysis, manufacturing, operations, or R&D. These paid internships are expected to run from mid-June to September and are on-site at our Carlsbad, CA office. This is a hands-on, learning-focused experience designed to provide exposure to the medical device industry and personalized healthcare solutions.
In this role, you will support project teams in areas such as design, research, documentation, process improvement, and data analysis. Depending on your assignment, you may assist in research, data analysis, process improvement initiatives, or technical projects. You will participate in team meetings and present updates on project work, conduct literature reviews, technical research, and data organization to support engineering, clinical, commercial, or operations teams. Additionally, you will assist in preparing reports, summaries, or documentation for internal or regulatory use and collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, quality professionals, commercial teams, and other team members.
The ideal candidate is currently enrolled in a junior, senior, or graduate-level program in a relevant field such as Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biology, Materials Science, Computer Science, Business, Marketing, Data Analytics, or a related discipline. Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills are essential. A willingness to learn and contribute in a fast-paced, collaborative environment is crucial. Basic familiarity with tools such as Excel, data visualization tools, or technical platforms relevant to the role is a plus but not required. A passion for innovation and interest in healthcare or medical technology is a bonus.
This paid internship offers real-world experience in a mission-driven company, exposure to the lifecycle of a regulated medical device, and mentorship from industry professionals. You will have the opportunity to contribute to projects that directly impact patient outcomes. Exceptional interns may be considered for future internship cycles or full-time opportunities upon graduation.
Carlsmed fosters a collaborative and innovative company culture, emphasizing professional growth and development. Joining our team provides a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge medical technology solutions that improve patient outcomes and advance the standard of care in spine surgery.
