printed circuit board design electrical networks chronic diseases electrical systems cost reduction sensors regulatory compliance mechanical assembly electronic hardware electronic design automationWe are developing a smart injector for various chronic diseases. Currently, we are looking for a team of students who can get involved in a smaller part of the project where we need to develop the mechanical assembly along with the required electronics and software. The goal of this project is to improve upon a currently existing and operational (but not optimized) electrical system within a hardware product and assist in the assembly and testing of a new electronic hardware product. The product is a smart injector with sensors and a microprocessor for drug delivery. We hope that the student will learn more about electronics design, testing protocols, and quality assurance.
The improvements will be evaluated by a number of factors including safety of the design, regulatory compliance, cost reduction, simplification (reduction in component numbers or size), and quality of components/suppliers chosen.
The team of the students will have to complete:
1. design of the electrical board
2. mechanical assembly
3. electrical schematic design and PCB design and circuit implementation
4. Firmware and software for the drug delivery
5. Documentation of the completed modules
The R&D team will provide as much support as is required to assist the student. Additionally, lots of existing document will provide sufficient direction and background information.
Regular meetings will be scheduled every 4-8 hours of work or whenever necessary to ensure the student is not overburdened.
The student may choose to work remotely or in office in Venture Lab.
