We want your brain. Yes, the brain you have been working and challenging every semester of college. The brain that is gnawing at you to pursue something big.

Leggett & Platt, Incorporated is taking applications for a Product Design Internship based in Mechanical Engineering at the IDEA Center, our Research & Development facility in Carthage, MO. We look for highly motivated students who value teamwork, innovation, product design, and attention to detail.
