Raytheon, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States, 52404
Industrial Engineering Co-Op Position
In the Industrial Engineering Co-op position, you will work with the Avionics Integrated Production Teams in the Cedar Rapids, IA facility. This position is for an Industrial Engineering student interested in learning engineering principles used in manufacturing. If selected, you will work side by side with our Industrial Engineers, Production floor operators, & Manufacturing support/engineering staff, to resolve flow, product, and quality issues associated with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. What sets our team apart is their ability and dedication to engage and help our students learn, grow, & develop themselves such that they do not feel like students but rather a direct part of the team. Immerse yourself in a full-time, Monday-Friday co-op session, that will run May/June-December (including the Fall semester; it is expected students will take a semester off from coursework to fully engage with this working mentorship opportunity). What You Will Do: Directly work with our manufacturing production floor employees including operators, inspectors, quality, and test technicians to solve day to day issue as well as proactively working longer term projects to eliminate reoccurring issues. Design tooling to aid the manufacturing process while utilizing additive manufacturing (3D printing) to support manufacturing needs. Involved in the analysis of best layout, flow, building, testing, troubleshooting, repairing and modification of electronic or electro-mechanical devices, assemblies, subsystems, and systems. Assist in planning the allocation of resources, materials, and personnel to establish maximum utilization of equipment. Help in conducting studies pertaining to cost control, productivity improvement, cost reduction, inventory control, and production record systems. What You Will Learn: Working side by side with our Industrial Engineers (and other engineering functions), you will gain firsthand industrial engineering experiences and learn broad aspects of engineering in a manufacturing environment. Gain the ability and know how to resolve manufacturing issue of all aspects including safety, ergonomics, quality, flow, and cost. You will develop and strengthen your ability to both work independently and work with cross functional teams through various day to day task and projects. Learn critical time management and prioritization skills necessary to be effective in the industrial engineering field. Learn about planning the sequence of operations for procedures, manufacturing documents, standard work, and product routings. Qualifications You Must Have: Requires a High School Diploma or equivalent and student must be pursuing a Bachelor's or advanced degree in an applicable discipline. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract Collins Aerospace, a Raytheon Technologies company, is a leader in technologically advanced and intelligent solutions for the global aerospace and defense industry.
