Job Description:

JOB TITLE: Engineering Intern
DEPARTMENT: Engineering
REPORTS TO: Engineering Department Leads
Date: 05092023
Position Purpose:

This position is for an engineering internship. It is expected that applicants for this position are enrolled or expect to enroll in an engineering or technical program at a college or university and are looking to expand their knowledge and experience in their field of study. Programs in the areas of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Controls Engineering, or programs in Mechatronics, Design, Robotics, or Manufacturing align well with Intec Automation’s core competencies and the products and services we offer to customers. All duties and responsibilities will be performed in coordination with engineering department leads and will be developed for the specific knowledge and experience of the student.
The position title is generic as Engineering Intern. However, the responsibilities and tasks will be aligned with the candidate’s area of study. For example, electrical and/or controls engineering students would pair with our controls engineering team, where they would be exposed to and contribute to tasks associated with the electrical & programming aspects of the custom machines we create. This could include shadowing engineers and contributing to wiring of panels and/or devices, electrical design, schematic drawing creation in AutoCAD, hardware sizing and selection, device communication, programming of PLC’s, HMI’s, safety devices, I/O devices, robots, actuators, pneumatic valves, cameras/vision devices, as well as potentially testing and debugging machine functionality. Students enrolled in mechanical engineering or related studies would be paired with mechanical design engineers to learn and contribute to tasks associated with the mechanical designs and mechanisms for our custom automation solutions for manufacturing processes. This could include 3D model & assembly design in SolidWorks, 2D drawing creation, hardware sizing and specification, analysis for strength and stiffness of components, cost evaluations, design reviews for manufacturability and ease of assembly, cycle time estimating, etc.
Candidates will get the opportunity and are expected to be hands-on in physically building and/or wiring and testing machinery, as this provides excellent reinforcement of theory.
Skills Required:

• Strong desire to learn and contribute to the success of custom automation projects.

• Good communication skills and experience communicating by email.
Education, Training, Professional Certifications, and Work Experience:

• Enrolled in an engineering school in an appropriate & related field.

• Experience in hands-on school programs or related work or lab experience is desired.
Physical Demands:

• Position will require time standing, sitting, walking, reaching, talking, and hearing. Limited weightlifting can be expected but not expected to exceed 30 lbs.
