Manufacturing Process Development Intern

Manufacturing Process Development Intern The open ocean is Earth’s largest and most power-dense renewable energy resource. Key Responsibilities Support system integration and outfitting of the first Node in a new series by observing execution and capturing lessons learned. Shadow engineers and technicians as they execute installation and test procedures, identify workplan gaps, and elevate issues for resolution. Participate in daily status briefs and lessons-learned reviews throughout the integration phase. Audit your assigned workplans, debrief execution with the responsible engineers, capture feedback, and rewrite procedures so the next build runs cleaner. Present findings on systemic workplan issues to the Vice President of Manufacturing, with concrete proposals for how Panthalassa should write better workplans going forward. Co-author the Panthalassa Workplan Design Guide with the rest of the cohort. This document sets the standard for how new engineers write and review workplans across the company. Help shape the procedure package for a future Node build by translating first-contact learnings into draft workplans, working alongside the design team. Optional stretch: develop manufacturing workplans for our new steel production equipment if you finish your audit work ahead of schedule. Requirements Currently pursuing a degree in industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, electrical engineering, or a relevant related field. Minimum two years of coursework completed. Comfortable writing technical procedures, work instructions, or test plans. Working familiarity with CAD tools such as SolidWorks or NX. Solid grasp of mechanical and electrical fundamentals. Data analysis skills in Python, Excel, or equivalent. You should be able to spot patterns in workplan defects and present them quantitatively. Strong written and verbal communication. You will need to extract useful information from engineers who are busy and do not always have time to help. The ability to push for answers without losing trust is essential. High agency. You will own ambiguous work, decide what to do next, and follow through without close supervision. Hands‑on shop floor, assembly, or fabrication experience. Familiarity with manufacturing systems such as product lifecycle management (PLM) or manufacturing execution systems (MES). Exposure to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), mechanical drawings, or wiring diagrams. Experience presenting technical work to senior leadership or external reviewers. Familiarity with root cause analysis and structured problem solving. Cash Compensation: $30.00 - $38.00 per hour As a paid intern, you will not be eligible for Company-sponsored benefits. You will accrue paid sick time in accordance with Oregon Law. You will also be paid for any holidays that occur during your internship. #J-18808-Ljbffr NextGenEnergyJobs
