Engineering Intern

About the role

MCG’s products require engineering design, manufacturing, and quality input across electrical power, structural steel, airflow and cooling, noise control, equipment layouts, and systems integration. Engineering interns in the Power Systems division will be given short-term assignments consistent with their degree programs, coursework, and prior experience. They will work independently and with staff to complete their assignments and contribute to MCG’s success. Designs and drawings will be documented in SolidWorks and AutoCAD depending on the project and engineering discipline.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the design of products needed internal to MCG and products MCG is providing to its customers.
• Ensure designs and drawings are consistent with production capabilities and flow.
• Collaborate with design and manufacturing engineers, project managers, production personnel, planners, purchasing, and Quality to complete designs and analyses.
• Assess the readiness of solutions to progress to the next stage of development or production.
• Plan, manage, and conduct tests and analyze the results.
• Ensure compliance with safety regulations and codes during production.
• Present new engineering principles, theories, advanced technologies, and concepts to your work team.
• Document processes.
• Perform other job-related responsibilities as assigned.

Project disciplines may include:

• Mechanical/Civil Engineering: Design and produce metal structures using SolidWorks or AutoCAD for legacy systems; perform FEA or other load, stress, and strain calculations; analyze airflow (velocities, pressures, temperatures) including CFD; calculate noise emissions; analyze heat transfer in/out and through the system; and systems integration and testing.
• Electrical Engineering: Design, build, integrate, and test electrical power equipment, wiring, and other electrically powered systems; interpret customer and industry specifications and standards; balance loads; produce designs, drawings, and schematics for electrical power equipment; and assist with field support for installation and maintenance.
• Manufacturing Engineering: Provide producibility and quality input to designs; transition engineering designs into production; support production with capability and capacity studies, manufacturing plans, and troubleshooting; process redlines and design/drawing updates; design and analyze fixturing, tooling, and equipment; implement facility changes; and lead Value Engineering initiatives.

Requirements

• Actively enrolled in a degree program leading to a BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or other relevant engineering degree.
• Experience and/or coursework consistent with designing and producing metal structures, electrical power equipment and wiring, systems integration and testing, and/or analyzing airflow (velocities, pressures, temperatures), noise, and heat transfer.
• Reliable attendance, respectful and responsible at work.
• Valid driver’s license and acceptable motor vehicle record.
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screen.
• Ability to apply concepts learned in academia to challenges at MCG.
• Knowledge of jobsite safety and ability to always ensure a safe workplace.

Skills

• Proficient with MS Office, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, nesting software, and other engineering tools.
• Strong organizational and multitasking skills.
• Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• High degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
