Interns and Co-Op Students

Are you at the top of your class and totally into nanotechnology? Do you want to gain real-world experience in this cutting-edge industry? How would you like having the first molecular nanotechnology company listed on your resume when you graduate?

Zyvex has several intern/co-op positions open each semester in a variety of groups, including Research and Product Development. We have interns working on marketing, mechanical engineering, physics, and programming projects. Our interns come from universities all over North America and are of all nationalities. We have a mix of undergraduate and graduate level students here, too.

The main thing that sets our internships apart from most other companies is what you, the intern, get to do. We won’t stick you in a corner filing papers. Our interns design MEMS components, receive MEMS parts from the foundry, test them, and report to the team how the designs are working. You perform real-world product research and analysis. Your programming contributes to our software packages. As a bonus, at the end of your term, you’ll give a presentation to the entire company showing off the work you did!

Here’s what some of our previous interns have said about their Zyvex experience:


“The year I spent at Zyvex was the most important stage of my undergraduate education. I was treated with an extraordinary amount of respect, I was paid handsomely, and I formed deep friendships with my coworkers. Zyvex offered me many unique opportunities and I never took them for granted.”
André Mercanzini, University of Toronto

“Working at Zyvex has been a dream of mine since high school. The opportunity to contribute towards the future of MNT was a constant goal for me throughout my undergraduate years. The reality of my job now, my co-workers, and my exposure to a myriad of interdisciplinary projects is more than I had dreamed, and is a huge step towards achieving that goal.”
Adam Hartman, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

“Zyvex offered me the opportunity to learn, grow, create and be part of the action. It’s where I realized I shouldn’t let my major confine me, where I could challenge the rules imagining and creating a world that never was. Zyvex is where people with lots of initiative and talent helped me hone my technical skills as I worked with leading edge technologies.”
Corina Nistorica, University of Alabama

“It’s not about self-replicating nano-bricks! It’s about the future of humanity!”
Peter Overland, Harvard University

“I started as software intern in Top-Down Group at Zyvex in January 2002. All through my work-term, I thoroughly enjoyed working in the field of Topology Optimization of MEMS devices. I was looking for an intern position where I could apply my analytical and computational design skills that I had learnt in school with much independence — Zyvex gave me just that. I could not have hoped for a better place to start, given that this was my very first work term.”
Manish Sharma, University of Michigan

As you can tell, Zyvex offers a lot in the way of on-the-job experience. We also offer you a few extras while you’re here, such as eligibility in our 401K program, participation in our internal educational seminar program, a fun, laid-back culture, and a host of other things. Basically, Zyvex is a pretty cool place to work AND learn.
