2025 Production Support Engineer Intern

Job Description:

The Production Support Engineer Intern will join our Hardware Engineering team in Indianapolis, IN,

Typical Duties

The Production Support Engineer Intern will support the hardware engineering department with development of repair and production processes through development of technical work instructions and detailed process guidance, primarily from a chemical /materials perspective. Engineer will assist in process development while supporting upstream design and downstream activities such as hands-on chemical and materials testing and troubleshooting, materials failure analysis, painting and metal finishing operations, fixturing design, supplier reviews and parts obsolescence resolution, addressing quality issues and other activities based upon the needs of programs. Additionally, this position may advise design engineers on Design for Manufacturing (DFM), provide inputs on scaling manufacturing techniques, and other production-related matters. The environment will be a combination of office, manufacturing floor and test laboratory work.

An example of tasking would be to develop or revise process work instructions to ensure repair personnel have the training, tools, techniques, and steps to test, troubleshoot and repair electrical or mechanical assemblies. Intern will work with engineers and production personnel to understand the problems, address obstacles encountered with surface finishing operations during assembly and integration, develop solutions and provide recommendations, and appropriately communicate to personnel who would be performing the operations. Continued support of the process would allow for follow-up to capture issues and make iterative improvements to the processes and work instructions, and document lessons learned.
