How can an undergraduate in Biomedical Engineering build a strong research trajectory early on, and what mistakes should I avoid / opportunities should I seek as I prepare for a career in biomedical R&D?

I am a third year Biomedical engineering undergraduate, studying at the University of Texas at San Antonio. I have two more years remaining in my program before I graduate. I currently volunteer in a cardiac device innovation lab, assisting graduate students in research regarding imaging of coronary arteries. Eventually I hope to be involved in medical device innovation. What steps should I take now to become a competitive researcher?
