About The Position

Entegris is seeking a curious, hands-on New Product Introduction Engineering Intern for its Colorado Springs, Colorado site for the Summer 2027 season. The assignment is intended to last 12–14 weeks, beginning sometime between May and August. The intern will support the introduction and scale-up of new products in a precision manufacturing environment, working with NPI Engineering, Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality, Operations, and other cross-functional partners as products move from engineering development through prototype and pilot builds toward stable manufacturing.

The internship provides practical experience in new product introduction, manufacturing engineering, technical documentation, data collection and analysis, and structured problem solving. Work will be completed with guidance from experienced engineers and technical team members. The position involves hands-on support in office, laboratory, cleanroom, and manufacturing environments, and requires compliance with applicable safety, quality, environmental, and contamination-control requirements.

Applicants must be currently enrolled students pursuing a relevant bachelor's degree, with an anticipated graduation year of 2027 or 2028. The intern must be available to work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., from May through August, and must meet their university's internship program requirements. Entegris does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role.
