Business Systems Development Intern

EXTEX Engineered Products is seeking a Business Systems Summer Intern for Summer 2026 to support the organization, optimization, and automation of internal business systems. This role focuses on improving how data is structured, connected, and used across tools such as Smartsheet, Excel/Access databases, automation workflows (n8n), and reporting dashboards (Metabase).

This is a hands-on, project-based role where the intern will actively build, improve, and document systems-not just observe them.

This is an on-site Summer 2026 Internship Program that will begin June 1st and run approximately 12-16 weeks, with anticipated end dates between August 28th and September 18th depending on availability. Interns will work 20-30 hours per week (minimum 20, maximum 30), Monday through Friday, with flexible scheduling.

About EXTEX: EXTEX provides advanced aftermarket aerospace components and engineered solutions that support rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms. With deep expertise in high-value parts and engineered replacements, our team delivers reliable, high-performance components that help customers reduce operating costs and extend asset life. Employees work in an environment that encourages innovation, quality craftsmanship, and responsive customer support.

Key Responsibilities

• Inventory and document existing systems, workflows, and data flows across the business
• Clean, organize, and standardize datasets and file structures for usability and consistency
• Build and deploy automation workflows using tools such as n8n (or similar platforms)
• Improve existing and develop new dashboards in Metabase (or similar BI tools)
• Support optimization and structure of Smartsheet-based processes
• Create clear documentation, system maps, and process flows to support long-term maintainability
• Identify inefficiencies and recommend practical improvements to systems and workflows

Qualifications:

Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in:

• Computer Science or related field with an applied focus

Preferred coursework:

• Exposure to automation tools (n8n, Zapier, Make, or scripting)

What We're Looking For

• High initiative and ability to work independently on ambiguous problems
• Strong attention to detail, especially when working with data and systems
• Comfort asking questions and gathering information from different stakeholders
