What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Engineer Intern position at Imperative Care?
Job Title: Mechanical Engineer Intern
Location: This position is based in our Campbell, California offices, on-site & full-time. Imperative Care does not provide relocation or additional housing compensation for the summer internship.
Why Imperative Care?
Do you want to make a real impact on patients? At Imperative Care we are developing novel robotic-assisted technologies, and interventional capabilities that will forever change the disparate outcomes of ischemic stroke - a disease that impacts close to a million people a year in the US and 10 million worldwide. Not only is Imperative Care changing the way stroke is treated, but also bringing this treatment to the greater population who is currently without.
What You’ll Do
We are seeking a motivated Mechanical Engineering Intern to support the development and verification of next-generation surgical robotic systems. This summer will be focused heavily on design verification testing, test fixture and manufacturing tooling development, process development, failure investigation, and documentation. The intern will work closely with senior engineers to execute tests, improve test methods, document results, support root-cause investigations, and help build the tools and processes needed to mature the design toward manufacturing readiness. This is a hands-on role suited for someone who likes building, testing, troubleshooting, and turning messy engineering problems into clear data and actionable next steps.
