Engineering & Operations Intern

As an Engineering & Operations Intern, you will contribute to the optimization of our engineering, manufacturing, and enterprise resource planning systems. You will support key process improvement efforts across product configuration, documentation, data governance, and system integration. Working closely with engineering, operations, and manufacturing teams, you will help streamline workflows and improve data accuracy to support rapid and reliable hardware development.

Key Responsibilities:

• 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.
