Job Title

New Product Introduction Engineering Intern

Job Description

Here at Entegris, we use advanced science to enable technologies that transform the world, and we are seeking employees who have the drive to continue the mission.

The Role

Our site in Colorado Springs, CO is seeking a New Product Introduction Engineering Intern to join our team for the Summer 2027 season. This assignment is intended to be 12-14 weeks in duration, beginning in May-August.

We are seeking a curious, hands-on NPI Engineering Intern to support the introduction and scale-up of new products in a precision manufacturing environment. The intern will work alongside NPI Engineering, Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality, Operations, and other cross-functional partners to help transition products from engineering development through prototype and pilot builds toward stable manufacturing.

This internship is designed to give a college student practical experience in new product introduction, manufacturing engineering, technical documentation, data collection and analysis, and structured problem solving. Assignments will be completed with guidance from experienced engineers and technical team members.

What You’ll Do

Support prototype, engineering, pilot, qualification, and manufacturing builds for new products.

Maintain a hands-on presence in manufacturing areas to observe processes, support planned builds, gather data, and learn how products transition into production.

Assist with injection molding trials, molded-part evaluations, and plastic product assembly activities by documenting process conditions, measurements, defects, and observations.

Assemble, inspect, test, label, clean, and package prototype or production-intent products using engineering drawings, bills of material, work instructions, and build plans.

Collect and organize manufacturing data related to yield, cycle time, scrap, process capability, capacity, measurements, and build performance.

Use Excel or similar tools to analyze, chart, summarize, and communicate technical data.

Assist with dimensional and functional inspection using appropriate measurement and test equipment under guidance.

Support basic manufacturing and industrial engineering activities such as process mapping, time studies, workflow analysis, work-cell layout, capacity calculations, line balancing, and ergonomic observations.

Help create and update work instructions, process records, assembly instructions, inspection methods, training materials, project trackers, and lessons learned.

Prepare concise technical summaries that communicate accomplishments, data, open issues, risks, action owners, due dates, and recommended next steps.

Participate in structured troubleshooting and root-cause investigations by gathering data, documenting findings, and completing assigned experiments or evaluations.

Support fixture, tooling, workstation, error-proofing, and process-flow improvement activities.

Assist engineers with manufacturing-readiness activities, which may include design reviews, PFMEAs, control plans, qualification activities, change-control documentation, and manufacturing master data.

Coordinate assigned materials, samples, documentation, measurements, or other resources required for planned engineering activities.

Follow all environmental, health, safety, quality, contamination-control, and clean-manufacturing requirements.

Communicate concerns promptly and complete assigned actions with attention to accuracy, traceability, and timing.

What We Seek

Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Technology, Plastics or Polymer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Ability to collect, organize, analyze, and clearly communicate technical data.

Ability to create clear technical documentation and concise written summaries.

Foundational understanding of engineering drawings, specifications, measurements, and manufacturing processes.

Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

Willingness to work directly with manufacturing equipment, fixtures, tools, inspection systems, components, and production personnel.

Strong interpersonal, organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Interest in injection molding, plastic components, product assembly, tooling, fixtures, inspection, and precision manufacturing.

Familiarity with statistical analysis, CAD, SAP, Minitab, JMP, SolidWorks, or other engineering and manufacturing systems.Hands-on project, laboratory, manufacturing, internship, or co-op experience.

Personal Attributes: Curious, hands-on, and willing to learn from engineers, technicians, operators, and manufacturing processes.

Organized and dependable, with attention to detail and follow-through on assigned work.

Able to manage multiple assignments and ask for direction when requirements or priorities are unclear.

Comfortable documenting observations, discussing results, and raising safety, quality, or schedule concerns.

Collaborative and adaptable in a cross-functional manufacturing environment.

Committed to safe work practices, integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Desired Major(s) & Graduation Year

Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree with an anticipated graduation year of 2027 or 2028 in one of the following areas: Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Technology, Plastics or Polymer Engineering

Eligibility

Must be a currently enrolled student

Available to work 40 hours a week, M-F (8a-5p) beginning in May through August.

Must be familiar with the university’s requirements to participate in an internship program
