Engineering Co-op

Co-Op Program

Our co-op program offers students an opportunity to gain hands-on experience by working on real-world projects. Partnering with industry professionals, participants will contribute to the development and enhancement of Sub-Zero Group's products while gaining practical experience to complement their studies.

Co-op assignments are typically 40 hours per week, Monday
- Friday for 8 months.

• Design Engineering: Work closely with Engineers, Drafters, and Technicians to design, develop, test, and document new designs as well as enhancements to Sub-Zero Inc. products. Create a concept, prototype it, build it to test, and then redesign the product to make any necessary corrections.
• Operations & Production Engineering: Step into the heart of manufacturing and be part of a fast-paced production team where every day brings new challenges and opportunities to make a real impact. You'll work side-by-side with skilled hourly team members and collaborate with engineers from reliability, test, quality, and manufacturing to keep things running safely, smoothly, and efficiently.
• Integrated Systems Engineering: Design and implement automated test systems to verify the quality and performance of luxury residential appliances. Work closely with other engineers to provide test engineering support for the manufacturing floor. The test systems may include data acquisition, vision test systems, and electrical and mechanical interfaces. Assist in development, documenting, programming, and building manufacturing test equipment. Provide troubleshooting support and training to manufacturing personnel.
• Reliability Engineering: Work closely with experienced engineers to support the development and testing of Sub-Zero Group, Inc. products by creating test plans, building fixtures, and documenting procedures. You'll assist with product teardowns, root-cause analyses, and design reviews, while analyzing sensor and warranty data to identify trends. You'll also help prepare reports using statistical tools to define performance targets and assess risk.
  
  You will have the opportunity to take the lead on projects and gain hands-on experience in product development, data analysis, and engineering problem-solving.
• Quality Assurance Engineering: Assists in improving quality systems. Works to enhance In-Line product quality and testing of refrigeration/cooking systems and structural dimensions with an emphasis on data capture and analysis.
• Manufacturing Engineering – Fabrication: Support and enhance manufacturing operations with a focus on Fabrication and New Product Development. You'll apply principles from Industrial and Mechanical Engineering to analyze processes, design fixtures, and drive improvements in productivity, efficiency, safety, and quality across the plant. In the Fabrication area, you'll collaborate closely with CNC programmers and design engineers to ensure manufacturability and safe production of components.
  
  You'll also contribute to New Product Development by supporting prototype builds, refining fabrication methods, and integrating feedback into design iterations. Gain hands-on experience with Solid Works for CAD modeling and drawing creation and develop a strong understanding of how engineering decisions impact real-world manufacturing outcomes.
• Manufacturing Engineering
  - Assembly: Support and enhance manufacturing operations with a focus on Assembly and New Product Development. You'll apply principles from Industrial and Mechanical Engineering to analyze, develop, and drive improvements in assembly processes. In the Assembly area, you'll work closely with manufacturing engineers, production teams, quality engineers, and design engineers to support the implementation of new products. You'll assist with fixture and tooling development, time studies, process documentation, safety evaluations, and continuous improvement initiatives.
