Mechanical Engineering Co-Op

PAC by Pro Ampac in Middletown Ohio is seeking a Mechanical Engineering Co-Op for the Spring and Summer semesters of 2022.

Engineering Co-Ops work under the guidance of the Engineering/innovation team members to work on various levels innovation projects duties.

• Current enrollment in a 2-year or 4-year Engineering program with coursework completed in an Engineering field
• 3D CAD modeling and drafting experience preferred
• A self-motivated and team-oriented attitude
• Interest in working hands-on in an office and manufacturing environment

• Learn to design using Solid Edge and Teamcenter programs for 3D machine design.
• Design/modify the machines in support of new products development.
• Design equipment to be used by our R&D department and for our customers.
• Gain exposure to most manufacturing processes. We utilize precision machined parts weldments and fabricated sheet metal parts in our designs. The co-op will learn about these processes as well as how and when to apply these types of parts in their design assignments.
• Gain exposure to different materials (steel stainless steel aluminum plastics etc.) and how to apply them. This exposure will include applying appropriate finishes such as painting plating and anodizing.
• Exposure to commercial parts such as gearboxes bearings linear rails drive belts pulleys sprockets and chain and pneumatics to name a few. The co-op student will learn how and when to apply these and other components in their design assignments.
• Perform light assembly work when applicable.
• At PAC our co‑ops will not only create design content but will see their designs fabricated and installed on our machines.
• Be exposed to 3D printing for prototype designs.
• Bring your imagination. This is a highly creative environment, especially this role with be in support to the innovation team. Our ideal candidates will have a strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn and creativity.
• Ask lots of questions. The design engineers here are always willing to help most of us started out in this field as co-op students too.
