Our application process is currently closed for most disciplines as interns have been selected for Summer of 2026! We will re-open for new applications on September 1, 2026 at 9am for Summer 2027 applicants.
At Engenious Design, we create medical devices and other high technology systems for our clients. This means we conceptualize, design, program, build and test medical devices & high technology systems that save lives and make the world a better place. Our team includes some of the best people from their respective fields. As an Engenious Intern, this means you would get to work directly with highly skilled and friendly experts, who are ready to help you further develop your skills with collaborative work.
Our teams work together on numerous projects which keeps us busy and on our toes. It’s a fast-paced workplace, with a spacious electronics lab and an even larger model shop and test lab. Our team includes creative engineers, designers, technicians, and project leaders who are constantly learning new tools and techniques.

With a combined skill set of over 30+ years in the industry, Engenious team members are a wealth on knowledge to show you the ropes
While we are very serious about what we do at Engenious Design, we are equally serious about getting together and experiencing life outside of the office
You won't be on the sidelines watching the other team members working. As an intern you will be in the thick of it right beside them designing and building new products from the beginning
We create new products that improve lives by working quickly and collaboratively to get what's important done, and we take responsibility to make things better
“My Engenious internship has assisted my growth as an engineer in more ways than I can count! I learned more with each project I worked on since I was doing real, necessary engineering work, and I never felt overwhelmed thanks to the friendly guidance of my mentor and other coworkers. After this summer I feel significantly more confident in my ability to learn independently as an engineer on the job and to work with a team to solve technical problems.”
Will, a new graduate in electrical engineering, contributed to our team by writing requirements, designing PCBAs, and testing them against specifications. His excellent work over the summer led to a full-time position starting in September 2024.
“The Engenious community has been so supportive as I navigate working in the field of embedded technology for the first time. Working on a variety of projects, I not only gained technical skills but also became a better-rounded software engineer overall as I learned to navigate the world of new product development. I am grateful for the opportunity to work on meaningful projects and be surrounded by people who are equally passionate about their own work.”
Isabel, a computer science student, dove into detailed software development for a variety of systems alongside our software team. We look forward to welcoming her back for a full-time position after graduation!
“My internship experience at Engenious was truly one of a kind. This team made me feel incredibly welcome to ask questions and try things in areas I had no previous experience with. This felt like a unique experience as I was given the freedom and responsibility to work on projects independently while also feeling supported if there was help needed. I felt like I was a part of the team and making an impact on the projects I was working on. I learned so much from this organization in just a few months which I know will be invaluable to my continuing education in the engineering field.”
A biomedical engineering student, Ella spent the summer with our project management team. Technical Project Managers ensure each project is a great experience for clients and the Engenious team. Ella focused on assisting and administering all aspects of important projects; coordinating a collaborative team of engineering and technical experts designing advanced technology products and medical devices.
"I go to an engineering school but I’ve never heard anyone talk about an internship that provided more challenge, responsibility, and growth than this one did. I have a lot of gratitude for everyone in this company.”
Dawson, a mechanical engineering student, contributed to our mechanical team in design, build, document and test of complex mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. A real-world chance to show off his SolidWorks modeling and prototyping skills!
"An internship at Engenious gave me a real feeling of what it's like to work on a team in industry. I was given the opportunity to do real work on real projects. This allowed me to both apply my knowledge and learn many valuable lessons from the engineers that I was working alongside. Questions I had were not only met with answers, but also discussions about larger design decisions where it was clear that my input was valued. I didn't feel like an intern, I felt like part of the team."
A computer engineering Masters candidate, Connor worked alongside the rest of the software team on several important projects. His work included developing drivers, architecting and implementing a system manager, coding a message handler for communication, and configuration of a peripheral test tool. His work was invaluable to the Software team as well as the larger Engenious team.
"The majority of my engineering background has been in education. My internship with Engenious has given me the chance to apply my skills in a professional setting, while still expanding my practical skills as a mechanical engineer. The hands-on tasks and project-based collaborations have also been invaluable to me. The culture and work environment at Engenious is collaborative and welcoming as well."
A mechanical engineering PhD candidate, working with spinal fusion devices, Jordan focused on optimizing mechanical and electrical stimuli to enhance bone regeneration for clinical and tissue engineering purposes. She is currently acquiring in-field experience with her strong interest in research, design, and testing of medical devices, specifically in orthopedics.
“My internship at Engenious has been one of the highlights of my engineering education. I’ve been able to learn from and work with engineering professionals who value my education and growth in the field. The diverse projects I have had the opportunity to work on not only gave me valuable hands-on experience but also a well-rounded idea of how I wanted to use my degree. My summers at Engenious provided practical context to my courses, benefitting me as a student and as a professional.”
A biomedical engineering student, Megan brought her love of medical devices to Engenious and was able to test-drive her skills to establish medical device specification and requirements to an engineering level of detail while being mentored by experts in a myriad of engineering disciplines. Learning how to be a cross-functional leader focused on answering “how should we make this medical device?” Megan was a solid contributor to the team!
“The whole office is a wealth of knowledge and I always felt like I could turn to anyone for help. Knowledge was shared. The Engenious team helped me understand why things were done the way they are. It never felt like people were only telling me what was necessary to help them out. Typically, when I asked 1 question, 5 got answered.”
A mechanical engineering student, Nick worked collaboratively to design, build and test electromechanical devices, developed solutions around injection-molded plastic constraints, communicated design concepts through SolidWorks modeling, completed product development builds by leveraging in-house prototype capabilities, and SO much more.
