Full job description
About the Role
You'll own the development of work instructions for our assembly and integration processes. This is the documentation technicians rely on to build every trailer as well as capture time study data that tells us how long those processes actually take.
This is a focused, high-ownership internship: rather than rotating across scattered projects, you'll go deep on two of the most foundational inputs in any production organization. You'll spend almost all of your time on the floor watching how builds actually happen, translating that into clear, repeatable instructions, and quantifying the work so we can balance the line and plan capacity.
You'll report to the Manufacturing Engineering team and partner closely with production technicians, supervisors, and quality.
This is a full-time, paid internship running now through late December. We're open to shifting to a part-time schedule in the final weeks for candidates returning to classes.
Responsibilities
Develop, write, and refine work instructions for assembly and integration processes
Conduct time studies to capture cycle times and process data across build stations
Spend time on the floor observing builds to capture accurate process steps, sequences, and standards
Photograph and document tooling, fixtures, and key build steps to support clear visual instructions
Validate instructions against actual builds and revise based on technician feedback
Standardize formatting and structure so documentation is consistent and scalable across the line
Organize and summarize time study data to support line balancing and capacity planning
Partner with technicians, supervisors, and quality to ensure instructions reflect the correct build methods
