What are the responsibilities and job description for the R&D Engineering Intern position at Helios Hydraulics America?
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 R&D Engineering internship opportunity available for Summer. We fill the summer openings by spring break. The internship offers the opportunity to see how the different engineering classes are applied in a manufacturing and engineering business as well as an introductory hydraulics course. Toward the end of the internship, we ask interns to give group presentations suggesting improvements that they may have identified during the defined project.
Qualifications:
Hands on, self-motivated students from mechanical, mechatronic, agricultural, and electrical or electronic engineering related programs are encouraged to apply. Undergraduate and graduate students that have had fluid power/hydraulics, programming, and controls 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 the R&D Research group with ongoing and new projects
- Python, C, and PLC programming
- Designing hydraulic circuits
- Machine building
- Automation support
The three-month, summer internship is the beginning step toward future employment at Sun Hydraulics after graduating from an engineering program.
