What You Will Learn

• Support interpretation of engineering drawings, specifications, and technical requirements used in mechanical hardware design.
• How manufacturing nonconformances are analyzed, documented and resolved, including exposure to root cause investigation and engineering dispositions.
• Experience with supplier requests for information (SRIs) and how they are reviewed and processed.
• Supporting engineering change initiation and execution, providing insight into configuration control, documentation updates, and the engineering change workflow.

What You Will Do

• Assist in updating drawings through the PW engineering change process.
• Support engineering evaluations related to quality notifications and supplier inquiries on production hardware.
• Participate in mechanical design tasks that consider manufacturability, material selection, structural performance, thermal behavior, system constraints, and cost.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve technical issues and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across APU and TJ programs.
• English (read, write, speak) is required when communicating with customers, co-workers, or supervisors who only speak English.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Must be pursuing Bachelor's or Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering and actively enrolled through the completion of the internship/co-op session.
