Opportunities Available​

​As a SoftwareEngineering intern at Stryker, you will be placed in one of the following teams:

Advanced Quality

AQE interns work on engineering projects related to development of new products.  Areas of emphasis may include human factors engineering, risk management, application of statistics, reliability engineering, design verification, and design validation including customer interaction.  As Homer Stryker pointed out, “If your tools don’t work, make them work.  If you can’t make them work, make some that do work.”  In this directive, the AQE team works to make sure that the products we develop at Stryker will work consistently for our customers to meet or exceed their expectations.  

Test interns partner closely with Test Engineers and R&D to experiment with early prototypes and vet out product designs throughout the design process.  What this really means is that they get to be the MythBusters of the division.  You think your design can last the entire expected service life? We put it to the test.  Just like the show, we quickly design and build fixtures to simulate real life situations. In addition to these experiments, they are ultimately responsible for design verification – the quantitative testing of the technical specifications of the product.  A team’s experience ranges from 2 to over 15 years with technical specialties ranging from sterilization, mechanical, electrical, software, and optics.  If you’re the type of person that has the magic ability to break things – we want you!

Manufacturing

Manufacturing Engineer interns will collaborate with Design and Operations to deliver best-in-class new products to market.  Interns will partner with technicians and engineers to improve Stryker’s manufacturing lines through new fixture development, assembly line process enhancement, implementation of lean manufacturing principles, and improving ergonomics and safety.  

Majors Targeted: Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related majors.
