What you'll do

• Helping design and validate tools and gauges, including 3D printed fixtures
• Supporting small equipment builds and process improvement projects
• Researching and sourcing materials for new product development
• Collaborating with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Sales teams

Every day is different — and every project helps you build real engineering experience.

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering
• Basic 3D modeling experience (SolidWorks preferred)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort working in a hands-on manufacturing environment
