Summer 2027 Mechanical Engineer Co-Op

As a Co-Op Engineer supporting the Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) Engineering team, you will gain hands-on experience in the design, development, testing, validation, and continuous improvement of low-voltage electrical products.

Working under the guidance of experienced engineers, you will apply electrical and mechanical engineering fundamentals to support product investigations, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, design activities, and technical documentation.

You will learn how electrical protection products are designed and validated while developing practical skills in problem solving, testing, data analysis, product design, and engineering standards.

This role is intended for students who demonstrate strong technical curiosity and a solid academic foundation in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or a closely related discipline, with particular interest in understanding how electrical and mechanical principles interact within protective devices.

Duration: 6 months, May/June-December 2027

Key Responsibilities


* Support engineers in the design validation, optimization, and maintenance of MCB products and electromechanical components.


* Assist with engineering evaluations of mechanical components, current-carrying parts, operating mechanisms, assemblies, and product interfaces.


* Support the preparation and review of engineering drawings, CAD models, technical specifications, Bills of Material (BOM), and design documentation.


* Support evaluation of current-carrying components, electrical connections, interruption mechanisms, thermal behavior, insulation, electrical clearances and creepage, and product safety requirements.


* Assist experienced engineers in interpreting electrical test results and relating observed behavior to product design.


* Analyze test results using Excel, statistical techniques, graphical analysis, and comparative testing.


* Support structured investigations of product and manufacturing issues using methods such as 5 Whys, Ishikawa/Fishbone, 5M+1D, Six Sigma, and data-driven root-cause analysis.


* Assist with failure of characterization, measurement, sample preparation, data collection, hypothesis testing, and evidence documentation.


* Compare conforming and non-conforming products to identify meaningful differences and potential contributors failure.


* Prepare technical reports and presentations summarizing problem statements, observations, analyses, test results, conclusions, and recommended follow-up activities.


* Work alongside Continuous engineering, Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality, and Laboratory teams.


* Participate in engineering meetings, laboratory reviews, problem-solving sessions, and technical discussions.

Required Qualifications


* Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in one of the following disciplines: Electrical, Mechanical, Electromech...
