Process Improvement Intern
About The Position
Scout Boats is seeking Manufacturing Asset & NFC Implementation Interns to assist with a large-scale project to digitally identify and register more than 2,000 production molds used throughout our manufacturing facilities. Each mold will be assigned a unique digital asset identity and linked to Scout's manufacturing asset registry. Interns will physically install pre-programmed NFC (Near Field Communication) tags and corresponding QR identification tags onto molds throughout the facility. Once completed, employees will be able to scan a mold using a compatible mobile device to access its digital asset information and associated mold inspection/checklist information. This is a hands-on internship combining manufacturing, fiberglass/composite work, asset management, and digital manufacturing technology.
Requirements
- Current student, technical-school student, or recent graduate interested in manufacturing, engineering, composites, technology, maintenance, or related fields.
- Comfortable performing hands-on work in an active manufacturing environment.
