Biomedical Device Summer Intern

We are seeking a dynamic and driven Biomedical Device Summer Intern to bolster our research and development crew. This role is pivotal in propelling our proteomics research forward, focusing on crafting innovative surface chemistries to enhance system performance. As part of our team, you'll collaborate closely with seasoned biomedical device engineers, chemical engineers, and surface chemists, gaining valuable insights and skills. We're seeking candidates eager to explore new surface chemistries, master materials characterization techniques, and delve into protein sequencing on our Next Generation Protein Sequencer.

As part of our team, your core responsibilities will be:

• Acquire practical, hands-on experience in protein sequencing and surface chemistry development through conducting fundamental research.
• Develop proficiency with multiple types of chemistries and surface science characterization techniques.
• Learn and apply data analysis methodologies, and effectively present analysis outcomes to the R&D team members on a regular basis.
• Maintain comprehensive records in a laboratory notebook to document experimental procedures and results accurately.
• Deliver a presentation of your research findings to the wider Quantum-Si community at the conclusion of the internship.
• Commit to a full-time schedule for at least eight weeks during the summer: working 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, at Quantum-Si in Guilford, CT.
