Intern, Software Security Engineer

Help Us Keep Healthcare Secure: Diagnostics Product Cybersecurity Intern

Are you curious about how the future of healthcare stays safe from cyber threats? Our Diagnostics Product Cybersecurity Team is the crew behind making sure medical devices are secure, reliable, and ready to help patients. As a summer intern, you’ll join a group of engineers who love solving puzzles, automating processes, and protecting technology. Bring your ideas, energy, and coding skills—we’ll help you turn them into real impact!

What you’ll be up to during your 10-12 week adventure:

• Help automate software tools that find and track security vulnerabilities in medical devices.
• Assist with developing scripts to create documentation and manifests using software analysis tools (don’t worry, we’ll show you the ropes).
• Pitch in on improving and maintaining our security lab’s testing environment—think of it as a playground for techies.
• Get an inside look at the product development lifecycle for medical devices (from brainstorming to launching).
• Collaborate with engineers who use cutting-edge cybersecurity methods every day.

Who we’re hoping to meet:

• You can work full-time during the summer (May/June - August/September).
• You’re currently working on your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, with at least one semester left after the internship.
• Your major is in Computer Science, Management Information Science, Engineering, or something similar.
• You’re heading into your senior year or you’re a graduate student.
• You know how to get your point across, whether you’re writing or speaking.
• You’ve dabbled with Windows and Linux operating systems, and you’re not afraid of a little network troubleshooting.
• You’ve played around with scripting languages like Python, JavaScript, Bash, or PowerShell (bonus points if you’ve automated something cool).
•  You’re curious, love solving problems, and want to make a real difference in healthcare.
   

Location, pay & other important details:

• You can work onsite at our San Diego, CA campus. Heads up: intern housing, relocation, and housing stipends aren’t provided, so you’ll need to have your living situation and transportation sorted out.
• Pay range: $22 - $35 per hour, based on your class standing and operational function.
• The chance to work with a team that’s genuinely invested in your growth.
• Networking, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities—all designed to help you thrive.
