  • Design and run experimental test programs, analyzing the data to validate that our designs meet rigorous performance and quality specifications.
  • Collaborate with teams across the business, including Manufacturing, Sales, and Supply Chain, to solve complex design challenges and ensure product success.
  • You will have the opportunity to develop your leadership skills by planning and leading small projects from start to finish.

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, having completed at least your freshman year of coursework.
  • A solid foundation in core mechanical engineering principles and an eagerness to apply them to real-world problems.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to present your ideas clearly and work effectively in a team.
  • A proactive mindset and a passion for creative problem-solving are essential for success in this role.
  • Willingness to relocate for the duration of this exciting co-op opportunity.

What You'll Get from Us

 

  • We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  • You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
