From the original posting
As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you will work side by side with manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to transition the Reliable Autonomy System (RAS) into production. In this role, you will work directly with mechanical, electromechanical, and avionics hardware while helping build the scalable processes and shop-floor processes infrastructure that underpin our production operations. This role offers direct ownership in a fast-paced, safety-critical aerospace environment, giving you visibility into the full lifecycle from initial design review to shop-floor execution.
Responsibilities
Hardware Integration & Assembly: Assemble, route, inspect, and test prototype and flight-grade electromechanical subassemblies, wire harnesses, and avionics packages.
Process Documentation: Author standard operating procedures (SOPs) and clear visual work instructions to establish repeatable, high-reliability build processes.
Design for Excellence (DFx): Collaborate with design engineering on DFM/DFA/DFT to optimize components for producibility, assembly ergonomics, inspectability, and yield.
Tooling & Fixture Development: Design, 3D print, and machine custom assembly jigs, test fixtures, and alignment tooling to improve throughput and operator safety.
Production Line Setup: Help design workstations, optimize line layout, and implement lean 5S standards to prepare the shop floor for low-rate initial production (LRIP).
Continuous Improvement & Root Cause: Support root-cause investigations on hardware non-conformances (NCRs) and implement corrective actions (CAPA) to improve first-pass yield.
Basic Success Criteria
Current undergraduate student pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering (Junior or Senior standing preferred).
Demonstrated hands-on hardware experience through collegiate engineering teams (e.g., Formula SAE, DBF, Baja, AIAA, Robotics), student maker spaces, personal technical projects, or a prior engineering internship.
Demonstrated ability to read and interpret mechanical engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, or electrical schematics.
Foundational proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (e.g., Siemens NX, SolidWorks).
Comfort working actively on the production floor with hand tools, shop equipment, and basic diagnostic hardware (torque tools, multimeters, oscilloscopes).
Ability to lift up to 35 lbs and navigate an active manufacturing floor environment.
