Mechanical Engineering Co-op / Internship

Gleason•Rochester, NY

About The Position

The Co op for Machine Products Engineering (MPE) is an entry level engineering position. The Co op is responsible for either new product engineering or design engineering and may rotate across the portfolio to gain exposure and experience depending on tenure and availability of work. The Co op is guided by a more senior engineer and assigned projects will inherently be limited in scope to allow the co op to experience both design and build stages. This could alternatively be done through concurrent work on multiple projects. Areas of focus may include new product development, mechanical, manufacturing, application engineering and testing.
