The Mechanical Engineering Co‑op Program with nVent’s Electrical Connections (EC) Business is a structured experiential learning program that gives students the opportunity to couple their academic knowledge with practical situations in the workplace, and simultaneously allows nVent to evaluate students as potential direct‑hire talent. The Program is rotational between various departments, including Product Engineering, Product Development, Manufacturing, Labs and Compliance, and Digital Media Development.

It is designed to engage students in the entire engineering process from development, through testing and applications, and to production. Students are assigned rotations and projects based on their academic levels and engineering capabilities and are given opportunities to champion these projects to completion and make significant contributions to existing processes. Our candidates are hands‑on problem‑solvers who are analytical, creative, and highly professional.

We seek confident leaders who take the initiative to drive results. Depending on the degree and/or desired career path, co‑ops will be placed into some combination of the following rotations.

Co‑ops work within a team of engineers who design and implement new products within existing product lines.

• Performing engineering calculations to analyze product designs for functionality and specification accuracy
• Assisting with resolution of technical issues related to product design, system design, and compliance with industry standards
• Participating in site visits and working with end‑user customers
• Participating and presenting in design review meetings
• Using 2D and 3D modeling software to create and maintain engineering documentation

Co‑ops gain exposure to new product design by participating in the conceptualization and development of innovative new products or modifications to existing products. Co‑ops will learn the art of balancing engineering design, functional requirements, customer needs, and aesthetic appeal.

• Fabricating and evaluating product concepts
• Assisting in creation of detailed drawings, 3D models, schematics, specifications, installation instructions, assembly prints, and test reports
• Utilizing analytical tools including Finite Element Analysis (ABAQUS) and Matlab
• Participating in site and supplier visits
• Participating and presenting in design review meetings

Co‑ops work in one of our two Solon manufacturing facilities gaining direct exposure to the…
