About The Position

GE Vernova is hiring for a six-month, full-time co-op supporting investment casting manufacturing. The role contributes to the company’s mission of electrifying the world while helping decarbonize it. The co-op will work with process owners and production teams to monitor, document, and improve casting processes, analyze process and quality data, develop process-control documentation, support defect prevention, and participate in engineering trials, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions. The position also involves creating or revising CAD models and drawings for manufacturing aids and contributing to robotics and automation projects. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information; any applicable offer will depend on authorization to access that information. The position is based in the United States, but no specific workplace arrangement or location is stated. The weekly pay range is $1,000–$2,000, with the specific offer potentially influenced by experience, education, and skill set. Relocation assistance is not provided. U.S. internship roles are ineligible for GE Vernova benefits.
