Electrical Engineering Co-op

Johnson & Johnson is recruiting for Electrical Engineering Co-ops for the Spring 2026 term within our MedTech sector, located in Cincinnati, OH.

As an Electrical Engineering Co-op at Ethicon, you will have the chance to:

• Be a contributing member to one of our teams developing: electrical and electromechanical surgical instruments, surgical robotics, electronic operating room equipment, or systems for automated data acquisition, analysis, and visualization
• Use state of the art tools to perform testing, experimentation, and validation in support of product design.
• Support team members in design, conducting experiments, data acquisition and analysis, troubleshooting, assembly and fabrication of prototypes and equipment.
• Gain product development experience such as concept generation, circuit design, writing firmware and software, printed circuit board design and fabrication, system prototyping, testing and debugging hardware and software, and documentation.
• Assist in developing laboratory testing, interpreting data results, and recommending next steps.

Responsibilities will increase with each rotation as you learn more by returning to school. Rotations are generally 12 weeks and availability for multiple rotations is desired. We offer a competitive wage and housing assistance to non-local students that live 50+ miles from the site. The R&D Design & Development Co-op program provides each student with a great support system, as well as the opportunity to meet people from various schools throughout the country.

All co-ops that qualify for housing assistance will receive a one-time taxable stipend to support the cost of living during the co-op term. Prior to the start date all co-ops will be connected with other incoming co-ops and provided with housing resources to individually secure housing arrangements. Transportation is not provided; all co-ops are responsible for securing their own transportation to and from the site daily.
