Co-Op, Engineering Data Management
About The Position
This co-op position offers the opportunity to work within Shur-Lok's engineering department for the summer. The role focuses on two key initiatives: digitizing decades of physical engineering records and completing a CAD database migration from a legacy enterprise system to a new one. The work involves handling real production drawings and CAD data for certified aerospace components, contributing to the permanent engineering infrastructure of an active aerospace manufacturer. This is a detail-oriented, methodical role that requires bringing order to complexity and ensuring tasks are completed thoroughly.
Requirements
- Freshman or sophomore pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field.
- Detail-oriented and methodical — you follow procedures carefully and escalate when something doesn't look right.
- Comfortable with computer-based tools and file systems.
- Able to work independently and track your own progress without constant oversight.
- U.S. Person or ability to obtain export authorization.
- Available full-time (40 hrs/week) for the duration of the summer term.
Nice To Haves
- CAD or PDM familiarity is a plus, not a requirement.
Responsibilities
- Scan, organize, and index physical engineering documents (drawings, test reports, records) into a structured digital archive.
- Validate scan quality and completeness; perform corrections and rescans as needed.
- Migrate CAD files from a legacy SmarTeam database into an active SolidWorks PDM vault.
- Verify migrated files for accuracy, completeness, and correct vault structure per defined procedures.
- Flag discrepancies, missing files, or data integrity issues for engineering review.
- Track and report your own progress against defined completion targets.
- Work directly alongside engineers to resolve questions on document ownership, revision history, or file identification.
