R&D Engineering Intern – RTM

Role Overview

The R&D Engineering Intern – RTM will contribute directly to Inogen’s next-generation Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) ecosystem by building data-driven insights, prototype app features, and analytics tools that support Inogen’s respiratory products.

This role is hands-on and tactical, and ideal for students who want to apply data science and digital health design skills in a real medical device environment.

Key Responsibilities & Tactical Deliverables

Patient-Facing App Prototyping

• Assist in creating low-fidelity wireframes for an RTM mobile app (usage tracking, symptom entry, reminders, progress screens).
  Deliverable: A clickable prototype (Figma or similar) showing at least three user flows.
• Prototype simple rule-based digital nudges (e.g., reminders triggered when usage is low or symptoms worsen).
  Deliverable: A logic map and sample message library for patient engagement.

Connected Care Model Mapping

• Map the end-to-end digital patient journey for RTM: device activation ? data ? patient-reported outcomes (PROs) ? provider dashboards.
  Deliverable: A visual, single-slide workflow showing data touchpoints and RTM billing considerations.

RTM / RPM Metric Design

• Define the minimum set of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for COPD and bronchiectasis RTM.
  Deliverable: A PRO list with a proposed scoring rubric for Inogen’s digital health platform.
• Propose adherence and response KPIs for internal dashboards (e.g., adherence percentage, symptom stability, session variability).
  Deliverable: A dashboard mockup in Power BI, Tableau, or Figma.

Ideal Background

Education

Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in:

• Data Science
• Computer Science
• Biomedical Engineering
• Health Informatics
• Public Health
• Or related fields

Experience (Academic or Project-Based)

• Python (pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, seaborn)
• Basic UI/UX prototyping tools (Figma, Sketch, etc.)
• Data visualization and analytics
• Interest in digital health, respiratory care, medical devices, or patient-centered design
• Strong writing and communication skills

What the Intern Will Gain

• Practical experience applying data science to real-world medical device telemetry
• Exposure to RTM/RPM workflows, clinical pathways, and patient-reported outcomes
• Experience creating prototype digital health application flows
• Understanding of how digital tools integrate with respiratory therapy (POCs, SOCs, Simeox, and future sensors)
• A portfolio of code notebooks, prototypes, dashboards, and technical briefs suitable for resumes, graduate school applications, or industry roles
• Direct collaboration with R&D, Product, Clinical, and Digital Health teams within a regulated medical device environment
