What you will do-

The Engineering Intern will supportthe overall Battery Electric Thermalengineeringteam.The role focuses on hands-on engineering work related to customer-specificPyroThinthermal barrier applications, as well as internal product and technology development efforts.

This internship is designed to provide exposure to real-world engineering challenges in electrified vehicle applications, including testing, data analysis, product development, and cross-functional collaboration.

In addition to day-to-day engineering support, the intern will own an overarching internship project aligned with active business needs. This project will span the duration of the internship and culminate in a final technical presentation to the engineering team, highlighting findings, analysis, and recommendations.

How will you do it-

The intern will support a broad range of engineering activities, including but not limited to:

Technical and Engineering Support

• Assistwith testing activities, including test design, setup, execution, and teardown
• Collect, organize, and analyze experimental data from material surveillance, product development, and customer-driven testing
• Support data-driven decision making through clear documentation and basic reporting
• Perform hands-on manual work such as fabricating test samples, assembling and disassembling parts, and evaluating design improvements
• Assistwith customization of customer-specificPyroThinapplications
• Support internal product development activities, including evaluation of new materials, constructions, and concepts
• Explore customer requirements and help evaluate potential technical solutions

Cross-Functional Support

• Function as a shared engineering resource across Program Engineering and Product Development Engineering as priorities require
• Provide flexible support to New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts as needed
• Support quality and manufacturing initiatives as needed, including potential collaboration with the East Providence, RI facility
• Assistin the creation, improvement, and implementation of engineering tools, methods, and processes

Internship Project

• Own a defined engineering project spanning the full duration of the internship
• Work with a mentor to define project scope,objectives, and success criteria early in the internship
• Apply engineering principles to investigate a real technical, product, or process-related problem
• Summarize findings, lessons learned, and recommendations in a final presentation at the conclusion of the internship

Why you are right for the job-

• Completion of a minimum of two years of college-level engineering coursework
• Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• Strong interest in electrification, advanced materials, and applied engineering problem-solving
