About The Position
The Manufacturing Software Engineer Intern develops and maintains software applications and reports used in manufacturing environments. The role focuses on maintaining, upgrading, and redeveloping applications that control or interact with customized fixtures and instruments, while supporting MES implementation, administration, and ongoing operations.
