3d•$20 - $30•Onsite

About The Position

Our site in Chaska, MN is seeking a Cybersecurity Engineer Co-Op to join our team for the Spring 2027 season. This assignment is intended to be 6 months in duration. The co-op works alongside the architects and engineers who design and build the security controls protecting Entegris's identity, cloud, and operational technology environments. Day to day work spans identity and access governance in Microsoft Entra and M365, cloud security hardening in Azure and Google Cloud, Python and Microsoft Graph automation for security reporting and analysis at scale, and support for tooling evaluations and technical documentation. The role suits an undergraduate or graduate student in cybersecurity, computer science, or information systems who has foundational security knowledge, some scripting experience, and can write clearly. It is a hands-on assignment with real ownership rather than a shadowing rotation, offering exposure to a modern enterprise security stack at a global manufacturer.
