Lab Operations and Safety Intern

Triple Ring Technologies, Inc. offers a unique environment for talented individuals interested in undertaking varied technical challenges, primarily in medical device and life science industries. Headquartered in Newark, CA, we are an innovative research and development company that partners with clients to deliver complex technical solutions.

Our highly interdisciplinary team includes senior professionals from industry, finance, and academia, with extensive experience in medical device, life science, clean tech, security, and industrial technologies. We rely upon each other for technical excellence, real-world engineering and commercial wisdom. com .

The Role Spend your summer making real medtech labs safer, smarter, and better documented. As a Lab Operations Safety Intern, you’ll help advance how our labs are run and documented — from policies and SOPs to safety data and day-to-day practice. This is a hands-on role with genuine ownership: you’ll draft clear, usable documentation, benchmark how we work against industry standards, and turn what you find into prioritized recommendations the team can act on.

The role sits within IT Incubation and works closely with our Lab Operations and EHS (Environmental Health Safety) leads, giving you a rare cross-functional view of how a multidisciplinary medtech company actually operates. You’ll be supported with mentorship and regular check-ins throughout — you won’t be left to figure out safety-critical work alone. Please note, this is a 12 week summer internship from July to August/September.

You must be able to work onsite in our Boston, MA office at least 3 days a week. Relocation assistance is not available.

What You’Ll Do

Draft and propose revisions to LabOps policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs) — for review and approval by the EHS lead / Chemical Hygiene Officer before adoption Help review and maintain our Safety Data Sheet (SDS) library and Chemical Hygiene Plan documentation — checking entries for currency and completeness and flagging gaps for EHS to resolve (SDS content is always sourced from manufacturers or our authoritative SDS system, never created) Research and recommend lab best practices, benchmarking our approach against industry and regulatory standards (e.g., OSHA HazCom, GHS, ISO, cleanroom standards) Review how our documentation maps to day-to-day practice and recommend ways to keep the two aligned and streamlined as the team grows — escalating any observed safety concern to EHS rather than adjudicating it Synthesize findings into clear, prioritized recommendations for the team Use company-approved AI tools to speed up research, drafting, and analysis — with every safety- or compliance-related output verified against the source and signed off by a qualified team member Example Deliverables: Anchor deliverable: A practice-vs-documentation gap analysis with a prioritized plan to keep procedures and real-world workflow in sync A prioritized set of draft SOP and policy revisions in an agreed-upon area, reviewed and approved by EHS before adoption An SDS library review with recommendations and a list of flagged gaps A lab best-practices recommendation memo (Scope will be agreed up front and right-sized to the internship — we’d rather you do a focused subset thoroughly and safely than spread thin.)

What We’Re Looking For

Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program (including community college / associate programs) — or a recent graduate or career-changer with relevant coursework — in chemistry, biology, biomedical or chemical engineering, environmental health and safety, lab science, industrial/operations engineering, or a related field Strong writing and documentation skills, with genuine attention to detail A safety-first mindset and curiosity about how labs run Comfort using AI tools, paired with the judgment to verify their output rather than trust it blindly Organized and able to manage your own tasks, with
