Bold Thinking. World Changing. At Sky Water, our ingenuity helps improve lives around the world by manufacturing U.S. made semiconductors that are essential ingredients of modern life. Automotive safety enhancements, life-saving medical devices, consumer electronics and American security require semiconductors. Working in our Minnesota headquarters, Florida, or Texas location — employees join together to improve the world.

Explore what’s possible. Joining our U.S.

- based team means contributing to and learning about the commercialization of some of the most exciting technologies the world has ever seen. We are turning “science fiction” into everyday reality through technologies such as superconducting, 3D integrated circuits or computer chips, carbon nanotubes, photonic logic devices, micro electro-mechanical systems and other emerging device topologies. We manufacture products for aerospace and defense, medical, automotive, consumer and industrial markets, to name a few.

Our customers include emerging leaders who rely on our intellectual property security and quality manufacturing services.

Step into the future. Sky Water’s values of Integrity, Excellence, Collaboration, Empowerment and Growth Mindset guide us to cultivate an empowered, learning environment. We also invest in developing highly skilled, dedicated employees — and employees who are entering the workforce for the first time, from the military, and a variety of educational backgrounds.

Are you bold thinking? Find your place on our team and help us change the world!

Sky Water Technology is seeking two highly motivated summer interns to support a critical operational excellence initiative within our manufacturing organization. These interns will work directly with manufacturing leaders and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to modernize and improve over 200 existing Operation Instructions (OIs) used on the production floor.

The focus of this role is straightforward:
take complex, text-heavy manufacturing specifications and make them clearer, more visual, and easier to train against
—without sacrificing technical rigor. This work will directly impact training efficiency, operator effectiveness, and manufacturing flexibility.

This is not a theoretical exercise. The output will be used daily by production teams in a high-reliability manufacturing environment.

Review and analyze existing manufacturing Operation Instructions and specifications

Partner with manufacturing engineers, supervisors, and operators to understand process intent and critical requirements

Simplify and restructure documentation to improve clarity, consistency, and usability

Convert written instructions into:

Flowcharts

Step-by-step process summaries

Leverage approved AI tools to accelerate content restructuring and visualization (with human validation)

Ensure all updated documentation aligns with manufacturing standards, safety requirements, and quality expectations

Track progress across a large document set and meet defined project milestones

Deliver standardized, production-ready documentation at the conclusion of the internship

Completion of Junior year+ of bachelor’s degree in:

Engineering (Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical)

Operations Management

Technical Communication

Data/Systems Engineering or a related technical discipline

Strong ability to read, interpret, and simplify technical content

High attention to detail and respect for process discipline

Comfortable working in a structured manufacturing environment

Ability to manage tasks independently and meet deadlines

Experience with:

Manufacturing environments, labs, or production facilities

Process mapping or flowchart creation

Technical documentation or SOP development

Familiarity with AI tools for document analysis or content generation

Experience with visual tools (Visio, Lucidchart, PowerPoint, Miro, etc.)

Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement exposure

Hands-on experience improving real manufacturing systems—not academic exercises

Exposure to semiconductor…
