Are you interested in an internship with Philips? We welcome current MBA students (first year) and advanced-degree candidates, including PhD students in engineering, biomedical, or life sciences, to join a 3-month paid internship with Philips Image Guided Therapy – Devices. You'll sit on the Advanced Imaging Upstream team, which shapes the next generation of intravascular imaging and physiology products, from clinical insight through product definition. The role is hosted at our site in Bedford, MA, just outside Boston. You'll get real, hands-on experience in upstream product management at a HealthTech company and own a project with a defined deliverable by the end of the summer.

Your role:

•Turning physician, market, and competitive insights into clear product concepts, user needs, and requirements that shape our short-, mid-, and long-term roadmap

•Designing and running voice-of-customer work, such as physician interviews, surveys, and site visits, and synthesizing the findings into recommendations

•Assessing new clinical opportunities and features: sizing the market, mapping clinical workflow, analyzing competitors, and building the business case

•Working with R&D, Clinical, Regulatory, Marketing, and Sales to align on product direction and keep decisions tied to customer value

•Supporting feature definition for active development projects, including writing user stories and acceptance criteria

•Presenting your findings and recommendations to product and business leadership

You're the right fit if:

•You are a current MBA candidate, or a PhD/advanced-degree candidate in engineering, biomedical engineering, life sciences, or a related field

•You can take an ambiguous problem, structure it, and carry a project from concept to recommendation while incorporating input from stakeholders

•You have 2 years of relevant experience, which can include research, internships, or co-ops (medical device or clinical research experience is a plus)

•You understand, or are eager to learn, product management fundamentals: customer discovery, requirements definition, value propositions, and prioritization

•You are curious about clinical problems and enjoy learning how physicians work

•You have strong analytical skills and can turn qualitative and quantitative data into clear insights

•You communicate effectively in English, both written and verbal, including with technical and clinical audiences

•You work well in a cross-functional team

•Knowledge of interventional cardiology, intravascular imaging (IVUS/OCT), coronary physiology, or the cath lab environment is a plus

•You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position .
