WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH:

At Air Manufacturing Innovation (Air MI), we deliver on Nike's most daring dream: giving every athlete the unparalleled sensation of walking on air.

You will be mentored by your area-specific and cross-functional teammates and use your engineering skills to implement product development, tooling designs or continuous improvement solutions as determined by the project(s) to which you are assigned. Alongside your engineering teammates, you may work with other specialists including but not limited to areas such as development, production, costing, maintenance and facilities.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:

In the NIKE, Inc. Summer Internship Program, you'll contribute to high-priority, real business initiatives that align with the NIKE, Inc. strategic roadmap.

With the guidance of senior leaders and experienced managers, you'll take ownership of a project that's been scoped to drive impact.
