Johnson & Johnson is recruiting for R&D Engineering & Data Science Co-ops for the Summer 2027 term located in Cincinnati, OH, to help transform the landscape of surgery.

Ethicon Surgical Technologies offers a broad range of products, platforms, and technologies, including sutures, surgical staplers, advanced energy, robotic surgery, clip appliers, trocars and synthetic mesh devices, used in a wide variety of minimally invasive and open surgical procedures. Specialties include support for treatment of colorectal and thoracic conditions, women's health conditions, hernias, cancer and obesity.

The Summer 2027 term dates are from 05/10/2027 to 08/13/2027.

Responsibilities

• Perform analysis of structured and unstructured surgical data sets, uncovering insights for Robotics, Handheld Instruments, or Digital Products R&D engineering teams.
• Contribute to product conceptualization efforts for brand new surgical tools and platforms.
• Write software that enables collaborative data analysis and ensure data quality.
• Develop and carry out mechanical, electrical, and biological tissue laboratory experiments.
• Design and optimize data visualizations for stakeholders.
• Contribute as a member of a team with mentorship from seasoned Hardware Engineers, Data Engineers, and Data Scientists.
• Use state-of-the-art tools and take advantage of training courses offered on-site and virtually.

Responsibilities will increase with each rotation as you learn more by returning to school. Rotations are generally 3-4 months and availability for multiple rotations is desired. We offer a competitive wage and housing assistance to non-local students that live 50+ miles from the site. The R&D Co-op program provides each student with a great support system, as well as the opportunity to meet people from various schools throughout the country.

All co-ops that qualify for housing assistance will receive a one-time taxable stipend to support the cost of living during the co-op term. Prior to the start date all co-ops will be connected with other incoming co-ops and provided with housing resources to individually secure housing arrangements. Transportation is not provided; all co-ops are responsible for securing their own transportation to and from the site daily.
