Engineering Intern

About the Role

The Engineering Intern supports the engineering team with technical and administrative tasks while gaining hands-on experience in real-world engineering projects. This role is designed for a student or recent graduate pursuing an engineering degree who is eager to develop skills in engineering analysis, CAD design, technical documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with engineering calculations, analysis, and design support under the supervision of a licensed Engineer.
• Create, update, and organize engineering documentation (technical reports, calculations, design files, and project notes).
• Support drafting and modeling tasks using CAD/BIM software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit), as applicable.
• Participate in engineering and project meetings, documenting action items, key decisions, and follow-ups.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (Project Management, Manufacturing, Operations, Quality, Procurement, and Field teams) to gather requirements and resolve issues.
• Perform data collection, basic data analysis, and visualization using tools such as Excel and dashboards.
• Follow engineering safety standards, quality procedures, and document control protocols; escalate concerns as needed.
• Complete a final internship presentation or report summarizing project contributions and lessons learned.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Industrial, Chemical, or related STEM field).
• Basic understanding of engineering principles, design processes, and technical problem-solving.
• Ability to learn quickly, follow instructions, and seek clarification when needed.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to document engineering work clearly and accurately.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) or similar tools.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Prior internship, co-op, or academic project experience in engineering, manufacturing, operations, logistics, or service environments.
• Experience with CAD/BIM or engineering modeling tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit).
• Familiarity with engineering analysis tools (MATLAB, Python, R, or FEA software).
• Knowledge of industry codes, standards, and technical documentation practices.
• Progress toward FE/EIT certification (where applicable).

Work Environment

• Work is typically performed indoors in an office but could include a plant environment.
• Exposure may include: Noise, weather, machinery, chemicals, public interaction, etc.
• Travel required: Minimal, 0% overnight travel.
• Typical work hours/shifts: 7am - 4pm, Monday - Friday.

Physical & Work Expectations

• Frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, or handling materials/equipment.
• Occasional climbing, kneeling, crawling, or lifting/moving up to 25 pounds.
• Ability to concentrate, follow detailed instructions, communicate effectively, and safely perform job duties.
• May require the operation of specific tools, equipment, or vehicles associated with the position.

What You Will Gain

• Hands-on experience with real-world engineering projects and problem-solving.
• Mentorship and professional guidance from experienced engineers and technical leaders.
• Development of technical, analytical, and professional engineering skills.
• Flexible scheduling to accommodate academic commitments.
• Valuable networking opportunities within the engineering and operations teams.
• Paid engineering internship with real-time project contributions.
• Potential consideration for full-time engineering roles after graduation.
