2025 Interconnect Engineering Intern

The 2025 Interconnect Design Intern will join our Hardware Engineering team in Indianapolis, IN.

Typical Duties:

The Interconnect Design Intern will support the hardware engineering department with development of technical data packages through development of engineering drawings and system integration, primarily from an electrical and mechanical perspective. Engineer will assist with product design and development using CAD programs to create, or modify, detail level drawings for manufacturing and work with Product Data Management (PDM) tool to capture documentation and manage iterations. As a secondary tasking, the position will involve downstream activities such as hands-on electrical and troubleshooting, electrical assembly parts obsolescence resolution, addressing quality issues, and other activities based upon the needs of programs. The environment will be a combination of office, manufacturing support and test laboratory work.

An example of tasking would be to develop or revise technical drawings and schematics of electrical assemblies. These electrical assemblies may be 3D modeled and need routed through the mechanical assembly. Intern will work with engineers and production personnel to understand the problems, address obstacles encountered 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.

Required Skills:

• Ability to understand and creatively solve complex problems
• Basic MS Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Experience in technical writing and development of detailed work instructions for assembly and rework operations
• Ability to read prints and electrical schematics.
• Experience using 3D CAD programs to create drawings from models
• Ability to design/develop aerospace vehicle wiring designs for assembly or testing operations
• Strong scientific aptitude and math skills (linear algebra, trigonometry)

This position requires the ability to access systems that contain information restricted to US Citizens based on certain Federal Government contractual requirements.

Desired Skills:

• Knowledge of configuration management processes
• Experience with Product Data Management (PDM) suites (Windchill preferred) to manage production process documents
• Familiarity with National Industry Standards such as ASME, ASTM, SAE standards, and MIL-STDs in regards to fabrication, assembly, and testing procedures and requirements (Ability to Reference, Interpret, and integrate into detailed work instructions)
• Experience reading and interpreting assembly drawings.
• Knowledge of aerospace vehicle circuit design and manufacture
• Familiarity with electrical and electromechanical systems
• Familiarity with ASME Y14-series standards (including Y14.5 GD&T)

Education Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in an accredited Engineering or related Science program (preferred concentrations in Electrical Engineering/Technology, Aerospace/Technology, Systems, Manufacturing Engineering or related field)
