About Sandoz
Sandoz Device Development Centre (SDDC) is the Cambridge-based medical device design and development centre of Sandoz. SDDC develops medical devices and drug delivery systems that are technically challenging in support of Sandoz projects. Currently, around thirty people work at SDDC, and our expertise is in designing, analysing, building, testing, and optimising high-volume, injection-moulded, mechanical and electro-mechanical devices.
About the Placement
The placement would suit engineering students with an aptitude for mechanical design, underpinned by a solid grounding in engineering theory. A working knowledge of materials & tools, as well as an appetite for building, testing, and refining prototypes, would also be preferred. Some experience (outside of university studies) of product design, fluid dynamics, 3D CAD, and/or data acquisition & analysis would be welcome but not essential.
Throughout the placement, SDDC colleagues will provide guidance, help to identify and develop aptitude in areas of interest, and provide or organise training in valuable engineering skills. Working on a mixture of projects, the student will gain knowledge and experience of the entire product development process. The size of the company and the nature of the work require each member of the team to be bright, self-motivated, resourceful, action-oriented, and confident in taking on responsibilities; these will include time & workload management, problem solving, and achievement of specified deliverables.
