ABOUT ABBOTT
Get hands-on experience and expand your functional knowledge with a paid co-op at Abbott. Typical assignments last six-to-eight months and include two-to-four weeks of training. Work alongside the best in your field and contribute to meaningful work. Learn more about our co-op jobs and apply now below.
Similar to our internships, co-op participants work in our Cardiovascular and Neuromodulation businesses and have the opportunity to partner with several experienced engineers throughout their job assignment. In addition to technical engineering knowledge and capability, our university co-op students exhibit critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, perseverance, and strong communication skills, along with confidence, and curiosity. An engineering co-op job is a great complement to formal education by giving students hands-on experience in the field.
We hire several types of engineering students to do complex work, including:
Support full-time engineers and scientists in the execution of materials-focused research and development, utilizing engineering, chemistry and mechanical concepts and processes to perform assignments of various scope and complexity towards developing and implementing solutions for routine to complex problems.

“I am fascinated with our body’s ability to recover and adapt. I’m working on a project related to development of left ventricular assist devices. I hope to gain experience in engineering design, explore more biology-related lab work, and get a more cohesive view of the bioengineering profession.”
