Role & Essential Functions

EWI is a world leader in developing and deploying new technologies that enable companies to bridge the gap between R&D and manufacturing implementation. EWI Associates are passionate about identifying out-of-the-box options that provide a long-term competitive advantage for our clients. Our clients tell us we are a valuable extension and complement to their innovation, engineering and manufacturing teams. If you enjoy working with customers and solving challenging, technical problems, EWI is the place for you.

EWI provides a rich learning environment for undergraduate and graduate students seeking opportunity for practical application of metallurgical, welding, mechanical, materials science, industrial engineering and allied fields. Engineer Interns will assist Engineers and Technicians in project work and perform tasks which allow EWI to operate more efficiently as a whole. During the program interns will transition from a technical labor-based position to that of a functioning engineer, gaining exposure to different industries and technologies along the way.

Internship opportunities vary with business needs. During the summer term, interns are expected to work 40 hours per week. If the opportunity is available, interns may be able to work in the fall and spring semesters for a defined number of hours per week in coordination with the student’s curriculum.

**There are six (6) total internship positions available focusing on the following technologies:

1. Resistance & Solid-State Welding 
2. Polymers
3. Laser Processing
4. Arc Welding & DED Processes (2 spots)
5. Structural Integrity (Materials & Corrosion)
