Engineering Technician (Intern)
Ultradent is looking for a mechanical engineering student in their first to third year of their program to help make our engineering department better. This is a challenging job with never-ending opportunities to learn. We do not expect you to arrive knowing everything to succeed at this job – we will help you learn all of that. We do want you to have attributes that will enable you to succeed. We can be flexible on hours.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCEED:
- Intelligent – can you learn quickly and find solutions to challenging problems?
- Innovative – do you have ideas to improve the designs, products, and processes around you?
- Curious – do you take things apart to see how they work? Do you study subjects on your own just because you want to understand them?
- Collaborative – can you share ideas freely, listen to others’ ideas closely, and blend it all together to find the best solution?
- Hard working – do you enjoy working hard and pushing through difficult challenges?
- Growth oriented – are you driven to learn and to be better tomorrow than you are today?
- Brave – are you willing to ask for help, even when you are afraid asking will expose your lack of knowledge?
- Resilient – can you enjoy the process of making and refining new things even when your ideas are not working?
- Empirical – are you willing to get into the lab, build prototypes, assemble hardware, and run tests to learn by experience?
HOW WE WILL HELP YOU:
You will work with a multi-disciplinary, experienced engineering team that will help you learn engineering and design skills. Here are some of the things you will learn with us:
- Prototyping – we will help you learn how to quickly find answers to questions by building prototypes. You will have access to a lab full of assembly and cutting equipment, CNC machining, and 3D printing services.
- 3D modeling – we will help you learn how to make robust models using Solidworks.
- Engineering fundamentals – we help you strengthen the engineering skills you are learning in school as you apply them here.
- Automation – we will help you learn about the electrical, mechanical, and control-system elements that are used to build automated equipment.
- Project management – we will help you learn how to manage projects of a creative, iterative nature
- Teamwork – we will help you learn how to work on a team to achieve things no one person could do alone.
- Design for manufacturability – we will help you learn how to design parts that can be machined quickly, with good tolerances, and at low cost.
- Statistics – we will help you learn to uses statistical methods to gain knowledge that is not easily seen otherwise
- Systems thinking – we will help you learn to see complex systems as a whole and to design and improve them from that perspective.
