Drexel Internship Fall Co-op 2026 - Engineering

Boeing•Ridley Park, PA

4d•Hybrid

About The Position

Boeing is seeking passionate and motivated Engineering Co-ops for its Software, Industrial, Manufacturing, Reliability/Maintainability, Systems, Mechanical Systems, Structures Engineering and Wire Installation and Wire Design teams. The Industrial Engineering Co-op Student will support the development of plant and equipment layouts, capacity plans, accident prevention measures, sequencing of operations and work flows. Participates in the evaluation of new techniques and technological developments for integration into the production process and service operations. Assists with designing, maintaining, and optimizing the production system by integrating design, supply base, facilities, equipment, and personnel. Conducts basic work flow design and analysis. Develops simple models, databases and spreadsheets to analyze data and provides summary analysis and metrics for consultation to leaders. The Manufacturing Engineering Co-op Student will support the development and implementation of production and tooling methodologies. Participates as a member of our production team to support the integration of technical solutions across multiple disciplines. Supports the development, identification and implementation of conceptual designs and maintenance of the program architecture for build. Participates in the implementation of manufacturing plans. Investigates technical problems. Participates in the implementation of Lean principles and technologies. Interfaces with IPTs and internal customers to develop products, skills, knowledge and experience. The Reliability and Maintainability Systems Engineering Co-op Student will learn and perform Reliability & Maintainability (R&M) tasks such as Predictions, Allocations, Failure Mode & Effect Analyses, R&M testing, and Failure Review, Corrective Action and Maintainability Analysis. R&M engineer may also perform maintenance, health and optimization of engineering systems which track, monitor, report, and statistically model design changes. Additionally, candidate can expect to engage in initiatives to streamline inefficiencies through the use of automation and assist in analyses of Product Assurance and System Effectiveness. The Systems Engineering Co-op Student within the Philadelphia Design Center (PDC) will assist in the development and integration of complex systems across the Boeing company. This role involves system requirements definition and documentation, verification planning, validation execution and cross-functional collaboration on design solutions and analyses. Structures Engineering Co-op Student: Develops, integrates and documents structural requirements to establish the system design. Coordinates with other engineering groups to establish the product's environment. Guides product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance. Develops test plans and configurations, supports test execution and analyzes/reports test results to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications. Defines and documents certification and test results to substantiate for customers and regulatory agencies that requirements are satisfied. Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements. Wire Installation and Wire Design Engineering Co-op Student: Develops and maintains basic cable/wire harness and equipment detail and assembly designs. Assists with engineering design disposition on discrepancies (e.g., rejection tags, production action requests, shop revision requests). Develops and maintains basic electrical product detail, assembly and installation designs (e.g., equipment racks, power panels, cable routing and geometry, antennas). Follows documented processes, specifications and procedures that support the design and manufacture of electrical commodities. Collects data to support the development of statements of work. Assists in data gathering of supplier capabilities. Reviews functional and physical input used in the development of integrated design and system architecture. As a participant in our Co-op at Boeing, you’ll gain hands-on experience, learn from experts, and collaborate with teams that do truly amazing things. You will be working in a challenging engineering environment that will expose you to design, development and production of aircraft. This unique experience will provide you a great opportunity to develop your engineering skills. Over the course of our Drexel Co-op experience you will have the opportunity to: Work directly with a mentor in your field of study while finding solutions to real world problems Experience our products up close by touring our state-of-the-art manufacturing and research facilities Interact directly with our company leaders to discuss strategy and the future of Boeing Build a lasting professional network through social events and engaging activities Gain the skills and knowledge to become a future leader in the aerospace industry
