International Engineering Intern, Manufacturing

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence | North Kingstown, Rhode Island | Summer internship with international placement

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division is seeking an International Engineering Intern for our North Kingstown, RI location, with a subsequent placement at Hexagon Germany or Hexagon Italy as part of a year abroad the year following the internship at Hexagon North Kingstown.

At Hexagon, we strive to help industrial manufacturers develop the disruptive technologies of today and the life-changing products of tomorrow. Our strength comes from our global footprint and enormous portfolio of advanced industrial sensors, measurement technologies, factory automation, simulation, and analytics tools.

This is a two-stage opportunity built for students in an International Engineering Program (IEP). The intern spends an initial summer term at our North Kingstown, RI facility, then continues the following year at Hexagon Germany or Hexagon Italy, applying what they learned in Rhode Island within one of our European engineering or manufacturing organizations.

Stage one – North Kingstown, RI: summer term, 40 hours per week, working alongside our systems, mechanical and manufacturing engineering teams.

Stage two – Germany or Italy: placement during the following academic year abroad, aligned with the student’s IEP requirements and the receiving site’s project needs.

Continuity: the project scope, mentor relationship and technical foundation established in stage one carry forward into the international placement.

We are looking for an undergraduate internship candidate with a background in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems or Manufacturing Engineering, and a strong interest in cross-disciplinary, international work. Assignments may span mechanical, systems or manufacturing engineering topics, and are shaped around the intern’s background and the needs of the engineering group.

Our engineering and manufacturing groups support all engineering and technical functions, and work continuously to improve the processes, cost, performance and reliability of our products. The International Engineering Intern works closely with these teams on tasks that contribute directly to the design, manufacture and assembly of Coordinate Measuring Machines.

• Guided execution of projects assigned by Engineering Manager to provide production, design or manufacturing support or increase efficiency of engineering group
• Project execution will be supported by an engineering mentor
• Configuration of Coordinate Measuring System and electro-mechanical configurations
• Mechanical/electrical layouts or Software tool creation/utilization depending on applicant background
• Programming in measurement host software
• Troubleshooting and diagnostics of complete multidisciplinary systems
