Summer Internship - Polymer Processing

Intech is a custom manufacturing company focused on advanced radiation shielding materials and engineered products. We develop and manufacture both traditional and next-generation (lead‑free) shielding solutions for medical, industrial, and government applications. This summer, we are hiring a hands‑on engineering intern to support polymer extrusion, materials development, and additive manufacturing projects. This role is ideal for someone interested in materials science, plastics processing, or mechanical engineering.

This is not a desk internship—you’ll be working directly with polymer extrusion, materials development, and additive manufacturing in a real production environment.

• Compounding and testing filled polymers (PETG, HDPE, elastomers with metal powders)
• Operating filament and pellet extrusion systems
• Troubleshooting real‑world issues
• Running experiments to improve material performance and process stability
• Supporting additive manufacturing (3D printing with advanced materials)

• Engineering, materials science, or technical background
• Strong interest in polymers, plastics, or manufacturing
• Comfortable working in a hands‑on shop environment
• Curious, self‑motivated, and able to solve problems independently

• Work with metal‑filled and advanced materials
• Gain real experience in extrusion + additive manufacturing
• Contribute to actual production and R&D projectsi>
• Build a portfolio that goes beyond classroom work

• Location:
  
  Spring near I-45 & Rayford
• Schedule:
  
  Full‑time, Monday–Friday, 8a - 4p
