Sandoz Device Development Centre (SDDC) is the Cambridge-based medical device design and development centre of Sandoz, a global leader in generic and biosimilar medicines. We help millions of patients around the world access affordable healthcare.

SDDC designs and develops drug delivery systems to support the commercialisation of Sandoz's portfolio of drug products. Our Device Engineering team has deep expertise in designing, analysing, building, testing, and optimising high-volume, injection-moulded drug delivery devices.

We are offering a year-long internship for aspiring Mechanical Engineers to join the Device Engineering team and experience the exciting journey of medical device development. Likely activities will include CAD design, technical analysis, prototyping, lab testing and reporting.

This internship will suit students with a passion for engineering and learning. Interns will gain exposure to much of the product development cycle, supported by mentorship and training. We value cross-functional collaboration, clear communication and a friendly work environment.

Interns have made significant contributions to both our projects and to our culture over the years, and we hope that a year at SDDC prepares them well for their remaining time at university and their subsequent careers. Several former interns have joined us again as graduates.
