Position Summary

Mission: Build What Matters. Improve What Counts.

Why This Role Exists

Our mission is simple: deliver precision-built products that perform without failure in high-stakes environments. As a Manufacturing Engineer Intern, you will directly support the systems, processes, and people who make that possible.

This isn’t a shadow-and-observe internship. You will contribute to real process improvements, real production challenges, and real operational outcomes.

Job Description

What You’ll Do (Impact-Focused)

You will partner with manufacturing engineers, operators, quality, and supply chain to:

Improve production efficiency through data-driven process analysis
Support root cause investigations and implement corrective actions
Assist in developing and refining work instructions and process documentation
Participate in Lean manufacturing initiatives (5S, waste reduction, flow improvements)
Analyze cycle times, tooling effectiveness, and production bottlenecks
Support fixture/tooling design improvements
Contribute to cost-reduction and yield-improvement initiatives
Help implement mistake-proofing and quality controls

You will leave this internship having made measurable improvements.

What Success Looks Like

By the end of your internship, you will have:

Identified and improved at least one production inefficiency
Contributed to a documented process improvement project
Demonstrated ownership of a scoped engineering initiative
Built trust with operators and cross-functional partners
Presented findings and recommendations to engineering leadership

Who Thrives Here

We’re looking for interns who are:

Pursuing a degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related Engineering field
Analytical and comfortable working with data
Hands-on and curious about how things are built
Comfortable on a production floor (not just behind a desk)
Strong communicators who can translate engineering to operators
Self-directed and energized by solving real problems

Bonus if you have exposure to:

CAD software
Lean / Six Sigma concepts
ERP/MRP systems
Technical drawings & GD&T

The Environment

You will work in a fast-paced manufacturing setting where precision and accountability matter. We operate with high standards, clear expectations, and a team-first mindset.

You won’t just learn how things are made — you’ll learn how to make them better.
