Key Responsibilities As part of the development of next-generation MRI machines, numerous subsystems—including RF coils and electronic circuit boards—must be rigorously characterized and validated. The objective of this internship is to design and implement an automated test bench to support the characterization and validation of multiple hardware subsystems.
During the internship, you will first learn the test procedures and validation methods used at Chipiron. You will then use Python to connect and control laboratory measurement instruments as part of a test bench. Based on this setup, you will develop automated scripts to run measurements, analyze the collected data, and check the results against predefined test metrics.
This internship offers hands-on experience with physical and electrical measurements, hardware–software interfacing, and test automation. You will strengthen your programming skills by applying software best practices and improving testing robustness and reproducibility. Finally, you will gain valuable insight into the medical device industry and contribute directly to the development of an innovative MRI technology.
Your main responsibilities will include:
Who We Are Chipiron is a French startup that is leveraging the emerging properties of ultra-low magnetic fields (<30mT) to build the first light, inexpensive MRI machine without compromising on image quality. We're a team of engineers based in the heart of Paris, and our mission is to revolutionize the medical imaging industry by developing the first plug-and-play, patient-friendly breast MRI that works everywhere.
Our Culture We are an international, English-speaking team that values technical excellence, interpersonal intelligence, and engagement. At Chipiron, this means we look for people with exceptional analytical ability, who enjoy mastering complex problems and executing with rigor and precision; communicate clearly and concisely, are self-aware and willing to ask for help and to help others when needed; people who go the extra mile, and instinctively move where impact is highest, rather than staying confined to a job description.
