Brela Innovations Private Limited is a government-supported deep-tech healthcare startup borne out of IIT Kanpur and KGMU, Lucknow.
We are looking for a motivated Research Intern with passion and interest in Biomaterial science, and medical device validation to work on cutting-edge healthcare and sensing technologies. The role involves designing, building, characterizing and testing tissue mimicking agents and polymers against our novel Breast Monitoring Device, along with regulatory research and exploration. This role is going to be energetic, involving multiple activities along with cross-team collaboration.

Job Description:
Title - Research Intern -Materials and Test Systems
Experience - 0-2 years of experience
Job Type - Permanent (On-site)
Location- IIT Kanpur
Salary - As per industry norms

Key Responsibilities:
1. Research, design, fabricate and iterate tissue-mimicking phantoms, including layered constructs and defined internal heterogeneities that mimic breast tissue
2. Establish the set protocols by which each batch is independently characterized,



and validate them against published reference values
3. R&D; on repeatability and stability: batch-to-batch variance control, shelf-life management, storage conditions, ageing, and the acceptance criteria that determine whether a batch is fit for use
4. Maintain the developed phantom library and test data as a controlled asset -formulations, batch records, characterization data, retention samples
5. Run a standing literature study across biodegradable and non-biodegradable candidate materials, and convert findings into formulations that can be tested
6. Evaluate material candidates against property, cost, processability, stability and end-of-life criteria, with trade-offs made explicit
7. Work within the biocompatibility standards relevant to skin-contact materials (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10)
8. Document all of the above to a standard that withstands regulatory and audit scrutiny
9. Conduct testing of the device on
