Our site in Colorado Springs, CO is seeking a Quality 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.

The Quality Engineering Intern will support the team responsible for manufacturing products used in advanced semiconductor lithography applications. This internship provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment while learning how quality engineering practices are applied across machining, finishing, assembly, inspection, cleanroom, and packaging operations.

Working alongside Quality, Manufacturing, and Process Engineering, the intern will contribute to a focused summer project while also supporting day-to-day quality activities. The position will provide exposure to process control, manufacturing data analysis, inspection and measurement systems, problem solving, quality documentation, and continuous improvement.

This is an onsite, hands-on opportunity designed for a student who is curious, analytical, comfortable working with data, and interested in learning how engineering decisions affect product quality and manufacturing performance.

What You’ll Do

Complete a defined summer quality-engineering project that provides a measurable improvement to EUV manufacturing, process control, inspection, or quality-system performance.

Collect, organize, analyze, and visualize manufacturing and quality data to identify trends, variation, recurring defects, or improvement opportunities.

Support the development or improvement of process controls, including control plans, inspection plans, sampling approaches, reaction plans, and process-monitoring methods.

Assist Quality and Process Engineers with capability studies, measurement-system evaluations, gage repeatability and reproducibility studies, or statistical process control activities.

Spend time in the manufacturing area observing EUV machining, finishing, assembly, inspection, cleanroom, and packaging processes to understand how product and process requirements are controlled.

Participate in structured problem-solving activities involving nonconforming material, process deviations, defects, or other manufacturing quality concerns.

Help document investigation findings, data analysis, potential causes, corrective actions, and effectiveness evidence.

Review or update quality documents such as work instructions, inspection methods, forms, visual standards, procedures, and training materials.

Collaborate with operators, technicians, engineers, and other cross-functional partners to gather information and complete project activities.

Prepare and deliver a final presentation summarizing the internship project, analysis, results, recommendations, and lessons learned.

What We Seek

Currently enrolled as a full-time student in an accredited bachelor’s degree program.

Completion of at least one year of college-level coursework before the start of the internship.Interest in quality engineering, manufacturing, semiconductor technology, process improvement, or data analysis.
