You will join the Diagnostic Assay Instrument Integration Development System. The purpose of this internship is to expand and scale assay menu capabilities on a diagnostic assay development system, comprised of robotics and instrumentation. The intern will support integration of new assay sequences into the system and develop backend data processing and visualization tools to improve workflow efficiency, data visibility, and scalability.
Timeframe: June 1 to August 7, full time (40 hrs/week) or full time, with possible longer-term opportunities. This role is in-person in Westbrook, Maine. To qualify for our program, you must be actively enrolled as a student beyond the summer program.
Goals to accomplish:
- Coordinate with cross-functional engineers to understand assay requirements and translate them into executable machine sequences
- Program and validate new assay workflows on the development system using Inductive Automation’s Ignition HMI
- Develop automated backend data processing pipelines using Python
- Create data visualization tools to improve insight into assay performance and reagent lot-to-lot variation using Python and/or JMP statistical methods
- Improve or extend the Ignition HMI to support new workflows
- Document processes and train assay/operations teams on new tools and workflows
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Desired Skills: Applicants will ideally have:
- Experience in instrument control or robotics with a focus on embedded systems
- Experience using version control tools (e.g., Git/GitHub)
- Proficiency in Python
- Strong technical documentation and communication skills
- Experience working with laboratory instrumentation, automation systems, or data acquisition workflows
- Experience with statistical data analysis (JMP)
- Familiarity with Ignition (SCADA / UI development)
Things you will learn:
- Systems-level approach to assay development and characterization
- Translating assay requirements into automated machine workflows
- Backend data automation and visualization tool development
- Working within a cross-functional engineering environment
- Fundamentals of assay characterization and slide-based analyzer systems
- Practical application of software development in a regulated laboratory environment
COMPENSATION
- Salary is $25.00/hr
- Start contributing to a 401k

Get Access To All JobsData Integration Specialist CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Data Integration Specialist role qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if your program has a data engineering, information systems, or computer science focus. The role must directly relate to your declared major and appear on your I-20 before you start. Positions involving ETL pipeline development, API management, or data warehouse design map cleanly to most STEM graduate curricula. Your DSO makes the final call on eligibility.
Can I do CPT for a remote Data Integration Specialist job?
Remote positions qualify for CPT as long as the employer is a U.S.-based entity and the work is integral to your curriculum. Your I-20 must list the employer's U.S. address, not your home address. Confirm with your DSO that remote employment is acceptable under your school's CPT policy, since some institutions require an on-site component.
How do I find Data Integration Specialist employers open to CPT students?
Search on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with documented work authorization history. Focus on mid-size technology, healthcare, and financial services companies, since they frequently run data modernization projects that need integration support without requiring a full-time permanent hire from the start.
What happens to my CPT authorization if I switch data platforms mid-internship?
Your CPT authorization is tied to the employer named on your I-20, not the specific tools or platforms. A technology stack change within the same company doesn't require a new authorization. If the employer changes or the job duties shift significantly away from your approved curriculum, return to your DSO for an updated I-20 before the change takes effect.
Does working as a Data Integration Specialist on CPT count toward future H-1B specialty occupation evidence?
Yes. CPT employment generates pay stubs, offer letters, and project documentation that can support a specialty occupation argument later. Data integration roles typically map to SOC code 15-1242 under O*NET, which USCIS recognizes as requiring a directly related bachelor's degree. Keep all employer correspondence and project records in case they're requested during an H-1B petition review.
