Materia Health Engineering Internship 2026

About Us

Materia Health is an Australian, clinician-led medical technology company dedicated to

improving the preservation and transport of donor organs, tissues, blood products and

reproductive cells. Our team is developing the MateriaPOD™, a smart, portable and

reusable device that actively controls temperature throughout transport to reduce

cellular injury and improve patient outcomes. We are looking for curious and driven

engineering students who are excited by solving real-world healthcare challenges and

want to gain hands-on experience helping develop a novel medical device towards

clinical use.

As an Engineering Intern, you'll play an active role in the research and development of

the MateriaPOD™ platform, supporting the design, testing and refinement of our device.

You will contribute across a range of R&D activities, including electronic hardware

development, prototype assembly and testing, technical documentation, and preclinical

study support. Working closely with our multidisciplinary team, you'll gain exposure to

the engineering challenges involved in advancing a medical device towards clinical use

while developing practical skills in a fast-paced startup environment.

We're looking for candidates who are natural problem-solvers with a passion for

hands-on design, prototyping and testing. You'll thrive in this role if you're agile, enjoy

working in a fast-paced and dynamic startup environment, and have the attention to

detail needed to deliver high-quality engineering, testing and documentation.
