This role provides immersive exposure to daily operations, production systems, and front‑line leadership within a high‑performance manufacturing organization.

This is not a traditional technical or project‑only internship. Students will work directly alongside experienced operations leaders and spend the majority of their time on the production floor driving improvements, solving real operational problems, and delivering measurable results while learning how manufacturing systems are led, improved, and sustained.

On-site, full time with a Minimum of 3 months

Primary Duties & Responsibilities:
Support daily production activities on the shop floor, ensuring adherence to safety, quality, and operational standards

Execute and sustain 6S initiatives (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety) across all production areas

Conduct process, quality, and performance audits, identifying gaps and driving corrective actions

Monitor and analyze key performance metrics such as scrap, first-pass yield, throughput, and overall equipment efficiency (OEE)

Partner with engineering and operations to implement continuous improvement projects focused on productivity, cost reduction, and process capability

Assist with root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions (RCCA) for quality and production issues

Ensure compliance with work instructions, routers, and aerospace quality standards (e.g., AS9100 practices)

Maintain a clean and organized work environment while identifying and mitigating safety risks

Assist with production scheduling support, work order management, and documentation control

Collaborate cross-functionally with operators, supervisors, quality, and engineering teams

Participate in kaizen events, process trials, and new product/process introductions

Perform other duties as assigned

Required Skills and Attributes:
Strong desire to pursue a career in Operations and manufacturing leadership, with interest in leading people and managing in a production environment

Demonstrated initiative and ownership; willingness to step in, ask questions, and take responsibility for improving outcomes

Interest in continuous improvement, problem solving, and making practical, hands‑on process improvements

Ability to work effectively with frontline teams, including operators, supervisors, and cross‑functional partners

Ability to analyze processes and performance data, apply root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions that improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost

Demonstrated technical and mechanical acumen, including comfort working directly with manufacturing equipment, processes, and materials, and the ability to understand how and why production systems operate

Level of Education:
Currently pursuing a BS Degree in Operations Management, Engineering or Business Management. Must have completed at least the freshman year.
