Builder's Residency - MedTech

Location:

Duration:

Compensation:

Openings:

biomechanics, mechatronics, embedded systems, controls, and clinical safety

founder-level mentorship

• Biomechanics & Fluids:

   pump hydraulics, hemolysis test design, catheter flow modeling, bench experiments.

• Mechatronics & Hardware:

   motor drivers, sensors, EMI/EMC hygiene, fixture design, rapid prototyping.

• Embedded & UI:

   STM32/CAN, control loops, safety interlocks, 5"–12" display UIs (Qt/LVGL/TouchGFX).

• Data & Controls:

   DAQ pipelines (NI/analog), calibration, algorithm prototyping, test automation.

• Quality & Regulatory (MedTech):

   test protocols, IEC 60601/62304 exposure, verification records.

• Clinical Research Ops:

   literature synthesis, risk analyses, design inputs, usability studies.

• Break down hard technical problems into experiments; design and run bench tests.
• Build quick, clean prototypes; document results others can reproduce.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams; present weekly findings.
• Own a mini-project end-to-end (scope → plan → execute → measurable impact).

• Week 2:

   Reproduced a prior experiment/build and pushed a small improvement.

• Week 6:

   Designed and executed a test or feature that unblocks a team dependency.

• Week 12:

   Lead-owning a mini-module/test pack with data strong enough to inform design.

• Performance bonuses

   tied to clearly defined milestones.

• Meal support

   on lab/field days (canteen coupons or reimbursements per policy).

• Local travel reimbursements

   for approved lab/field work.

• Founder mentorship

   with weekly 1:1s and technical reviews.

• Patent & publication credit

   on eligible contributions.

• Hands-on lab access

   at IITM (fixtures, instruments, test rigs).

• Structured learning plan

   (MedTech safety, V&V, controls, fluid dynamics).

• PPO consideration

   for top performers + strong letters of recommendation.

• Conference/paper support

   (case-by-case for accepted work).

• Residency certificate

   detailing your contributions.

skills, authorship, and network

• Strong fundamentals in 

  one

   of: fluid mechanics/biomechanics, mechatronics, embedded C/C++, controls, or test engineering.
• Maker energy: you prototype, instrument, and debug systematically.
• Clear writing and clean documentation habits.
• Curiosity + grit: you enjoy tough, ambiguous problems and safety-critical thinking.

• Process duration:

   ~2 days from application (apply early; 

  limited cohort

  )

1. Apply (10–15 mins):

    CV/portfolio + a short note on a project you’re proud of.

2. Technical take-home (48 hrs):

    a bite-sized build/test relevant to your track.

3. Panel interview + lab tour:

    discuss your approach; meet the team.

4. Offer:

    cohort size is limited; we prioritize initiative and clarity of thought.
