Mechanical Engineering - Internship Winter 2024

Biomomentum strives to be at the forefront of innovation in the field of mechanical testing of biomaterial and tissues. Our multiaxial Mach-1 Mechanical Testers can assess mechanical properties of biomaterials or tissues under compression, tension, shear, friction, torsion, bending and also with our proprietary technique for 3D mechanical properties mapping.

During this 16-week internship, the student will work with our engineers and scientists to develop and validate new mechanical testing modalities compatibles with the multiaxial Mach-1 Mechanical Tester on various biomaterials and tissues. Interns will have to conduct thorough literature review, determine the optimal testing parameters and write down Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) with step-by-step information on how to execute the mechanical testing.

RequirementsThe position requires at least 2 years completed in a Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Basic knowledge of ISO13485 (medical devices) and GLP/GMP regulations is an asset. The candidate should be well organized and attentive to details. The ability to manage multiple tasks / prioritize a large volume of work within deadlines and the ability to work with minimal supervision in a team environment are imperative qualities. French (written and spoken) and English (written) communication skills are essentials.
