The role is based in Cookeville, Tennessee, begins in Spring 2027, and lasts at least eight months, with nine to twelve months highly preferred. The co-op must be able to work 40 hours per week.

Requirements

• Must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program.
• Must be pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Industrial & Systems Engineering.
• Must be able to complete a minimum eight-month co-op; nine to twelve months is highly preferred.
• Must be able to work 40 hours per week.
• Willingness to learn from others on the job.
• Methodical, data-based problem-solving and decision-making, including product problem-solving and product failure-mode avoidance.
• Ability to follow and contribute to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) and Technical Function standards and practices.
• Knowledge or willingness to learn systems requirements engineering, product interface management and integration, analytical modeling, and test integration and optimization.
• Knowledge or willingness to learn hands-on product verification and validation processes.
• Ability to drive results, collaborate and communicate effectively, and demonstrate continuous self-development.

Nice To Haves

• Minimum GPA of 2.5 is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Investigate product, test-system, and process problems; understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate actions, take ownership of problem resolution, and document results with guidance from experienced team members.
• Apply and support process and quality improvements, including test-system specification, design, and validation, using tools such as FMEA, 7-step problem solving, and process hazard analysis.
• Obtain input from and negotiate with laboratory customers, laboratory technicians, and component suppliers to deliver test-system requirements, processes, and instructions.
• Make decisions about component selection, calibration processes, and operating processes that affect test-equipment accuracy, reliability, and operating costs.
• Own resolution of moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services, maintaining accountability to the project team.
• Independently execute established work processes and systems while developing technology and product knowledge and contributing to continuous process improvement.
• Direct and coordinate technicians and temporary student employees as needed, and contribute to team goals and influence the work group.
• Support engineering staff in research and development, product design and development, validation, test engineering, or reliability.
