Research And Development Intern
About The Position
Join the largest manufacturer of tile and natural stone in the United States and watch your career stand out with Dal-Tile, a subsidiary of Mohawk Industries. Our close-knit team of dedicated professionals has made us the success we are today. In exchange for their hard work, we support our people with a family-friendly work environment, a commitment to promoting from within, unique benefits that go beyond just medical and dental, and a belief that every employee deserves a productive life outside of work. If this sounds outstanding to you, take the first step forward and explore a career with Dal-Tile. The R&D Summer Intern will lead a high-impact digital transformation project focused on improving file organization and data hygiene within the R&D Test Laboratory. The department currently maintains approximately 1 million digital files accumulated across legacy workstreams, shared drives, and project archives. Many files are unstructured, inconsistently named, or duplicative, creating operational inefficiencies and limiting long-term knowledge management. This internship is structured as a project-based experience to be completed within the 12-week program. The intern will work closely with the R&D Test Laboratory Project Manager, Supervisor, and Technician Team. This position is located at the Dallas Corporate office and is an onsite internship opportunity. This is not a remote role. This is a project-based internship, and the selected intern will present their summer project at our annual Intern Expo Day on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 .
