Willow is a platform for products that help improve the lives and health of women. We are a mission-driven team of experienced inventors, mothers, and fathers dedicated to making a difference in women’s lives. The Willow™ Wearable Breast Pump, selected as one of TIME's 25 Best Inventions in 2017 and 2018 CES Innovation Award for Wearable Technologies, is the first solution in our platform.
Internship Overview:
The Engineering team at Willow is responsible for researching, designing, and developing innovative solutions for maternal health and breastfeeding. We are looking for a highly motivated individual, who is interested in women’s health and FemTech, to join us in creating products that re-define the mom-experience. You will gain technical experience supporting connected medical and consumer products, and partner closely with multiple engineering teams from the beginning (concept) to the end (field returns) of a product life cycle. You will also have the opportunity to connect with other interns and dive deeper into the world of women’s health and research.
If you have a passion for constant learning, innovative engineering products, and joking around with your co-workers, you will fit right in!
What you’ll do:
- Test and characterize new product features and design changes
- Hands-on troubleshooting of complex electro-mechanical systems
- Develop, execute, and document test procedures and results
- Data analysis to evaluate product performance and reliability
- Develop and execute tests, and present results to a cross functional audience
- Design and/or qualify test fixtures and equipment
- Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to improve product reliability
What you’ll bring:
- Pursuing an engineering discipline in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering or equivalent
- Capable of driving forward deliverables with minimal guidance
- Strong analytical/problem solving skills
- Ability to use statistical tools and apply engineering concepts to failure analysis
- Excellent written, visual and verbal communication skills
- Experience with programming (MATLAB or Python) is a plus
- Dynamic engineer with a “can do” attitude and hunger to learn

What We Do
Selected as one of TIME’s 25 Best Inventions, the Willow was the first to get rid of the clunky bottles, motors, and cords — and put moms in control. Powerful, comfortable, fully in-bra, and app-connected, our pumps are simply built different. Because you deserve more.
