Product Engineering Intern

Job Description

MUST BE A JUNIOR OR SENIOR STUDENT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE POSITION

Nature and Scope:

Sun Hydraulics, LLC in Sarasota, FL has a paid Product Engineering internship opportunity available for Summer. Students are offered an introductory hydraulics class as well as the opportunity to see how the different engineering classes are applied in a manufacturing and engineering business. Toward the end of the internship, we ask interns to give presentations suggesting improvements that they may have identified during the defined project.

Qualifications:

Hands on, self-motivated students from mechanical, mechatronic, mechanical engineering technology, agriculture, and industrial engineering related programs are encouraged to apply. Undergraduate and graduate students that have had fluid power or hydraulics course work are especially encouraged to apply. Previous internship experience in a manufacturing environment is useful, but not necessary. Our preference is for students who have an interest in an engineering career working in Florida.

Responsibilities:
  • Supporting CVT Engineering by working with SUN colleagues to assist in valve development and design work
  • Model valve geometry in Creo
  • Perform analysis on valve characteristics
  • Create drawings to manufacture components
  • Troubleshoot problems with manufacturing, assembly, test, or field failures of existing valves

The three-month, summer internship is the beginning step toward future employment at Sun Hydraulics after graduating from an engineering program.
