Manufacturing Engineer Intern
About The Position
The Manufacturing Engineering Intern will support metal fabrication and mechanical assembly operations by generating work instructions and resolving production issues through hands-on support. The engineering intern will participate in multi-week rotations that introduce the intern to the numerous facets of manufacturing engineering and design engineering. During these rotations, the intern will learn and support the development of production processes and industrial engineering (including ergonomics and safety in manufacturing, and metal fabrication processes); design and development of fixturing, jigs, gages, and tooling; quality control and continuous improvement, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA), and an introduction to Additive Manufacturing (AM)(FDM/FFF process).
Requirements
- Candidate must be enrolled in an ABET-accredited college or university, pursing a technical degree in Engineering such as Manufacturing Engineering or Mechanical Engineering (inc. MET), Industrial Engineering, or a closely related STEM field.
- Must have obtained Junior, Senior, or Post graduate status as of Spring 2027.
- A cumulative GPA of 3.0+ in an engineering-focused discipline (preferably Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, etc.) is strongly desired.
- Ability to lift up to 40 lbs.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with Metal Fabrication processes and/or Lean Manufacturing Principles.
- Basic-level familiarization with 3D modeling/CAD software such as PTC Creo, Solidworks, Inventor, etc.
- Basic understanding of material (mechanical) properties.
Responsibilities
- Assess manufacturability based on engineering print reviews.
- Support & develop production operation sequences for component-level fabrication.
- Generate work instructions for assembly operations.
- Conduct time studies for process refinement and continuous improvement.
- Support resolution of issues arising during ongoing production processes.
- Design/develop fixturing and support the development of tooling.
- Support Industrial Engineering projects through CAD layout revisions and/or conduct coordinations across cross-functional or interdepartmental teams.
- Be assigned administrative tasks that support growth and learning through familiarization of manufacturing processes and support functions—such as updating tooling records, operating procedures, and supporting Change Management functions.
- Shadow design engineers for a short rotation to learn design principles and processes, and to learn the transition process from design to production.
