• Partnering with leadership to identify and address areas for efficiency improvement and benchmarking against industry best practices.
• Becoming a process owner, critically reviewing processes with attention to detail, and proactively recommending improvements.
• Utilizing specialized equipment and instrumentation accurately with limited supervision.
• Developing tools and models to enhance tracking and efficiency.
• Learning continuous improvement methodologies (e.g., PPI, Six Sigma) and promoting improvement initiatives.
• Collaborating with various functions (program management, engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, finance) to achieve business objectives.
The internship is a 10-12 week program starting either May 12th or June 16th, 2025, depending on the student’s academic calendar. Undergraduate students pursuing an Engineering-related degree (graduating between December 2025 and June 2026) are eligible. While previous internship experience is preferred, it’s not required.

They should be enthusiastic about driving change, results-oriented, and comfortable navigating ambiguity.
