Rotational Development Program

PennEngineering® • Plumstead Township, PA

8d • Hybrid

About The Position

The PennEngineering Rotational Development Program (PRDP) is an 18-month, three-assignment program built for new graduates who want their careers to start in motion. Two of your rotations are at PennEngineering sites in the United States — different locations, different teams, different problems. One takes you overseas, to our operations in Ireland, Germany, or Asia. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive learning experience, allowing participants to live and work in different environments, build a global network, and discover their strengths through varied engineering challenges. The international rotation is an immersive experience, not just a visit, allowing participants to own work and understand different approaches to engineering problems. Upon completion, participants will have colleagues across multiple continents and a clear understanding of their career fit within the company.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Science program in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or Materials Engineering at an ABET-accredited university, graduating by May 2027
• 0 GPA preferred
• Willingness and ability to relocate for each rotation, including an international assignment in Ireland, Germany, or Asia — this is central to the role, not an optional element
• At the time of accepting a verbal offer, you must already hold work authorization allowing you to begin full-time work for PennEngineering in the United States on the agreed start date
• Adaptability — you settle into new places, teams, and expectations quickly
• Strong engineering instincts and real enthusiasm for technology
• Demonstrated technical and analytical ability, with attention to detail
• Creative problem-solving and the drive to start doing engineering, not just studying it
• Clear written and verbal communication
• A self-starter's attitude: professional, positive, and genuinely collaborative

Nice To Haves

• Conversational or fluent Mandarin is a plus, but not required
