About the position

Working at Watlow offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a thriving cross-functional community within a global technology and manufacturing leader. Watlow Electric Manufacturing, Inc. is dedicated to providing world-class engineering expertise through innovative thermal products and systems, enabling our customers to thrive. With nearly a century of experience in delivering breakthrough thermal solutions, we are committed to making a positive impact every day, enriching the lives of people everywhere. Our corporate values guide us to always do the right thing, continually learn and improve, respect everyone, and lead with service and humility. The Manufacturing Engineering Co-op Program is designed for students seeking more than a typical internship. This immersive experience lasts 6-8 months and allows participants to engage in real-world engineering challenges that are directly tied to the company's strategic objectives. Located at Watlow's Columbia manufacturing site, co-op participants will work on impactful projects in design, testing, automation, and manufacturing development. This program provides an excellent opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to real-world manufacturing projects while collaborating closely with mentors and experienced engineers. Co-op participants will learn how to design and build fixturing for product manufacturing, conduct experiments to aid manufacturing cell design, perform Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility studies, develop lean manufacturing standard work, and aid in the development of work instructions for manufacturing operators. They will also test and analyze new and existing products, build prototypes, participate in prototype and equipment design reviews, handle fabrication, tooling, wiring, and building control panels, complete reliability, experimental, and validation testing, and evaluate laboratory results. This hands-on experience is invaluable for building a successful engineering career.
