Mechanical Engineering Co-Op

Required

• Currently enrolled at an accredited university as an undergraduate or graduate student in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related technical discipline.
• Prior internship, co-op, or substantial hands-on project experience in engineering or manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of 3D CAD, and the ability to read and create engineering drawings, including the basics of GD&T.
• Comfortable working with machines such as mills, lathes, band saws, and belt sanders.
• Ability to operate FDM and SLA 3D printers is a plus.
• Experience with machining, injection molding, or metal stamping is a plus.
• Coursework or project experience in design of experiments, statistics, or test method development is a plus.
• What Success Looks Like
• In your first month, you are designing fixtures and running tests with light oversight, and you are asking the questions that catch problems early rather than waiting to be told.
• By the midpoint of the co-op, you own a defined project end to end, including the designs, test data and documentation behind it.
• By June, you leave behind constructed fixtures, protocols, and data reports the team keeps using after you go back to school, and you can explain how a design decision traces through testing and documentation to the finished design.
