Position Summary

AMETEK Rotron is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Quality Intern for Summer 2027 to support quality assurance, inspection, compliance, and continuous-improvement activities within our aerospace manufacturing operation. The intern will work alongside Quality Engineers, inspectors, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, and other cross-functional partners to gain practical experience applying quality principles in a regulated manufacturing environment.

This internship is designed to provide hands-on exposure to problem solving, data analysis, inspection planning, first article inspection, corrective action, and quality-system documentation while contributing to meaningful departmental projects.

Key Responsibilities

Assist Quality Engineers with projects focused on product quality, compliance, delivery, and continuous improvement.

Support the preparation and completion of First Article Inspections (FAIs), including review of drawings, specifications, inspection results, and supporting documentation.

Assist with the creation, optimization, and documentation of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) programs for selected components or assemblies.

Collect, organize, and analyze quality data related to nonconformances, scrap, rework, inspection results, customer concerns, and process performance.

Participate in root-cause investigations and support corrective and preventive actions using structured problem-solving methods.

Help maintain inspection plans, quality procedures, work instructions, forms, and standard operating procedures.

Support Material Review Board activities and the review of nonconforming material.

Assist with internal audits, calibration-system activities, document control, and other quality-management-system requirements.

Help document customer-portal processes and maintain clear instructions, ownership information, and supporting resources.

Collaborate with Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Production personnel to resolve issues and improve processes.

Prepare reports, charts, project documentation, and presentations summarizing project approach, results, and lessons learned.

Take responsibility for understanding the Business Management System and how it applies to the role.

Adhere to health and safety requirements and promptly raise concerns that could affect safety, quality, compliance, or the business.

Carry out all duties in accordance with Company policies and procedures in effect at the time.

Required Qualifications

Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Quality Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related technical field.

Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

Ability to read and interpret technical information; exposure to engineering drawings and specifications is preferred.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a cross-functional environment.

High attention to detail and commitment to accurate documentation.

Successful completion of the required background check and drug screening before employment.

Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs.

Preferred Qualifications

Minimum GPA of 3.0 preferred.

Coursework or experience in quality assurance, statistics, metrology, manufacturing processes, or data analysis.

Familiarity with CMM programming or dimensional-inspection equipment, including Hexagon systems, is a plus.

Basic knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, First Article Inspection, Lean, Six Sigma, or corrective-action methods is a plus.

Experience with data-visualization or statistical-analysis tools is preferred.

Interest in aerospace, defense, or regulated manufacturing environments.

What You’ll Gain

Hands-on experience supporting a quality organization in an aerospace manufacturing environment.

Practical exposure to FAIs, CMM programming, inspection processes, corrective action, quality documentation, and compliance activities.

Experience collaborating with Engineering, Manufacturing, Production, and other business functions.

Mentorship from experienced quality professionals and the opportunity to present project results and recommendations.
