Responsibilities

The internship is approximately from May - December 2025.

The 2025 Additive Manufacturing Intern will be assigned to the Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF) within the Mechanical Development Unit. The AMF, a dedicated Mayo Clinic 3D printing space, houses a titanium printer, a variety of polymer printers, and a suite of post-processing equipment. The parts manufactured here support the development of one-of-a-kind medical devices, laboratory instruments, and other products in service to Mayo Clinic patients. Division of Engineering designers and engineers print concept models, functional prototypes, and end-use parts for projects undertaken at the request of Mayo Clinic staff members. The application of additive manufacturing accelerates the development cycle from initial request through final product by providing quick turnaround parts.

The ideal candidate will have experience with several 3D printing technologies, for example, material extrusion, vat photopolymerization, or powder bed fusion. Basic understanding of additive processes and material science in additive manufacturing is required. Experience with manufacturing execution systems is a plus. Systems optimization and workflow streamlining are possible foci of the work. The intern will focus on metal additive manufacturing and will accept work from their mentors, including the Additive Manufacturing Facility Coordinator, Metal Lead, and Polymer Lead.

The primary purpose of the Undergraduate Engineer Internship is to provide the student with relevant engineering experiences. One or more mentors will be assigned to the intern to provide instruction, guidance and to assess performance. The intern is responsible for learning the procedures and processes of the Division of Engineering and the assigned work unit. In addition, the intern will be given selected engineering work assignments to reinforce the learning experience and to provide benefit to the work unit. The engineering assignments may include designing components, developing a project strategy, gathering user needs, requirements and specifications, evaluating commercial components, assembling prototype systems, performing design verification and design validation, troubleshooting, and participating in design reviews. All assignments are within the context of the Division of Engineering Quality Management System (including safety risk management) and are performed in a multi-disciplinary development environment. The intern will be responsible for completing all internship-related assignments and reports for both Mayo and the participating educational facility (if applicable).
