  • Support the cleanup and standardization of engineering part data in product lifecycle and ERP systems.
  • Assist in the review, creation, and release of manufacturing documentation, including work instructions and technical drawings.
  • Contribute to improving data integrity across product structures, routings, and supplier information.
  • Participate in archiving and organizing inactive products, BOMs, and system artifacts to ensure up-to-date configurations.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to identify gaps and inconsistencies in system processes and assist in implementing corrective actions.
  • Engage with technicians, engineers, and program leads to gather input and ensure documentation reflects current practices.
  • Learn and apply best practices in configuration management, document control, and process mapping.

Requirements:

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field.
  • Strong attention to detail, with an interest in systems, processes, and documentation.
  • Basic familiarity with engineering documentation and part structures (drawings, BOMs, routings).
  • Experience or coursework in PLM/ERP systems (e.g., Windchill, Odoo) is a plus.
  • Ability to manage tasks independently while collaborating within a team environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience working with manufacturing systems, configuration tools, or enterprise software platforms.
  • Familiarity with process improvement techniques or basic data analytics.
  • Exposure to aerospace or high-tech manufacturing environments through coursework or previous internships.
  • Compensation and Benefits:
  • Competitive internship compensation.
  • Hands-on experience contributing to real hardware programs.
  • Access to company events, mentorship, and networking opportunities.
