Electronics Co-Op (Fall 2026)

Engineering Co-op Student

The Engineering Co-op Student provides mechanical and/or electrical engineering support in the development of new components and products, as well as improvements to the performance, reliability, and cost of existing products. This role works closely with design engineering, new product development (NPD), quality, manufacturing, and global cross-functional teams.

The Co-op will translate high-level design concepts into detailed drawings and specifications, perform hands-on testing, and support prototype and production activities. This role offers practical experience with motor design principles, product testing, manufacturing support, and engineering change processes.

Major Responsibilities

• Perform product and material testing to support customer requests, urgent deviations, and rapid turn-around testing needs
• Assist with prototype development and testing for active New Product Developments (NPDs)
• Support manufacturing and quality teams with day-to-day engineering, process changes, and plant support activities
• Complete drawing and material specification reviews for deviation and engineering change requests
• Lead or support design change investigations, with opportunities to take on increased ownership and responsibility
• Participate in development projects through execution of design tasks and technical documentation
• Create and support test plans in collaboration with mechanical design engineers
• Utilize and interpret analytical and test equipment
• Assist in PPAP package reviews and work with suppliers to approve new parts, new tooling, and replacement tooling
• Support engineering documentation, including:
• Layout, detail, and assembly drawings
• Bills of Materials (BOMs)
• Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
• Design records and specifications
• Manage 3D printer operations, including file and material loading, part removal, and routine maintenance
• Gain exposure to and collaborate with global, cross-functional engineering teams

Required Education, Experience & Skills

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• No prior experience required
• GPA of 3.0 or higher
• Basic 3D modeling experience (SolidWorks preferred)
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with high attention to detail
• Demonstrated critical thinking and problem-solving abilities
• Self-directed work ethic with a positive, "can-do" attitude
• Ability to create action plans, prioritize tasks, and manage time effectively
• Strong relationship-building skills with a high level of integrity and energy
• Aptitude for learning and using mechanical and/or electrical design and analysis tools in a team-based environment
