Internship Overview
An internship at Accelevation is not a summer of shadowing and busy work. We design, manufacture, and install the critical infrastructure that powers some of the world's most advanced technologies. As an intern, you will work alongside industry experts on meaningful projects with real deadlines, real responsibilities, and real impact. You will collaborate with engineers, manufacturing leaders, and project managers who are solving complex challenges and shaping the future of critical infrastructure. From our manufacturing center in Southwest Ohio to the mission-critical environments behind many of the world's largest data centers, you will gain firsthand exposure to how innovative ideas become reality. More importantly, you will build lasting connections. You will join a cohort of interns who learn and grow together, while developing relationships with mentors who will support your career long after your internship ends. You will leave with more than experience. You will leave with new skills, meaningful relationships, and a deeper understanding of how your work can help build the future.
Your Impact
As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you will support manufacturing engineering activities by assisting with process documentation, production support, ERP configuration, tooling concepts, and continuous improvement initiatives.
This role is designed to provide hands-on experience that connects engineering design, manufacturing execution, and daily production operations. You will work closely with Manufacturing, Production, Planning, Quality, Maintenance, and Engineering teams to document manufacturing methods, improve production documentation, support Epicor infrastructure, generate production-ready drawings, and contribute to practical solutions that enhance operational performance.

Physical Demands and Work Environment
Work is performed in both a climate-controlled engineering office and an active manufacturing environment. Physical requirements include standing and walking on concrete floors for extended periods while observing manufacturing processes, reviewing equipment, and collaborating with operators. The position also requires prolonged periods of computer work for CAD drafting, documentation management, and Epicor-related activities. Employees must be able to inspect equipment, review tooling, bend, reach, and occasionally lift or move items weighing up to 30 pounds. Specific vision abilities include close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, and the ability to adjust focus. The manufacturing environment includes exposure to moving mechanical equipment, industrial machinery, and moderate-to-high noise levels. Strict adherence to all safety procedures is required, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, steel-toed footwear, and hearing protection where applicable. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
