  • Ability to independently recruit, schedule, and facilitate user sessions with both consumers and clinical professionals
  • Strong written communication skills with the ability to synthesize qualitative insights into actionable recommendations

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to consumer product or medical device development (internship, co-op, research, or capstone)
  • Familiarity / Interest with at-home skincare or aesthetic devices as a user or researcher

What We offer
  • Exposure to breakthrough health technology and insight into how next-generation drug delivery systems move from concept to product.
  • Real impact from day one. Work on projects that directly contribute to Panther's microneedle array platform and product development.
  • Hands-on experience participating in the design, development, and testing of real technologies alongside senior engineers and scientists.
  • Meaningful ownership of discrete projects with clear outcomes and the opportunity to present your work to the team.
  • Startup-level responsibility within a small, fast-moving team where your ideas and contributions genuinely matter.
  • Work alongside a small group of thoughtful, curious people who care a lot about the mission. We collaborate closely, help each other out and work together.
