• Support the development of cosmetic and workmanship training programs for production and quality teams. 

• Standardize engineering and manufacturing reports, metrics, and documentation to improve clarity and usability across teams. 

• Analyze production, quality, and operational data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities. 

• Support throughput, yield, and manufacturing performance tracking initiatives, including First Pass Yield (FPY), End-to-End Yield, and Units Per Hour (UPH) metrics. 

• Assist in the development and maintenance of dashboards, reports, and data visualizations that give operations teams real-time visibility into manufacturing performance. 

• Support reporting automation and digitalization projects using Excel, Python, and business intelligence tools such as Power BI or Tableau. 

• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to identify opportunities for process improvement and automation. 

• Document project activities, reporting workflows, and improvement initiatives to ensure continuity and knowledge transfer. 

• Prepare reports, presentations, and project updates for stakeholders and leadership as needed. 

• Participate in continuous improvement and process optimization initiatives throughout the internship. 

REQUIRED SKILLS & TECHNICAL PROFICIENCIES

• Familiarity with SQL databases and data extraction techniques is a plus. 

• Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar business intelligence tools for dashboard and report development is a plus. 

• Understanding of manufacturing KPIs such as Yield, Throughput, UPH, and Production Performance Metrics is preferred. 

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and data interpretation skills. 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder reporting. 

QUALIFICATIONS 

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field. 

• Detail-oriented and methodical, with a strong commitment to data accuracy and documentation quality. 

• Self-motivated and proactive, with the ability to manage assigned workstreams independently while collaborating closely with the engineering and operations teams. 

• Comfortable working in a dynamic manufacturing environment where priorities can shift and adaptability is key. 

• Curious about process improvement, digitalization, and how data can drive better manufacturing outcomes. 

• Able to translate technical findings into clear, actionable summaries for both technical and non-technical audiences. 

• Minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher preferred.
