Haas Automation, Inc.

Description

Manufacturing & Mechanical Engineering Summer Internship Program Applications Starting February 2022

SUMMARY

Manufacturing Engineering interns will be exposed to the Haas Automation manufacturing process from the ground up on how to build machine tools. Interns will be engaged in many of the operations involved in manufacturing machine tools, such as manufacturing parts, tool design, workflow and even troubleshooting problems. 

Mechanical Engineering Interns will work more on an independent basis under the supervision of a Product Line Manager.

Your internship work is monitored and reviewed closely by a Sr. Engineer, who is also there to advise and answer questions. 

The Engineering intern will work with experienced engineers on various types of projects as assigned.  The intern may work with the Engineering staff to improve and develop work flow and design processes.

During the course of the internship, the intern will be exposed to the many facets of engineering that contribute to the Haas CNC machine.  Additionally, the intern may work in various locations of the Haas factory in order to gain real world machine tools experience.

Interns may be involved in several regularly scheduled employee training programs, besides classroom time spent with your mentoring engineering staff.  All interns will receive performance feedback at the conclusion of the internship.

RESPONSIBILITIES/DUTIES (will vary)

  • Improve productivity by performing ergonomic evaluations, time studies, simulation, and line balancing
  • Study and improve plant safety
  • Cost analysis
  • Process documentation
  • Capacity utilization analysis
  • Optimize assembly flow and process to minimize People per machine per day
  • Taking inventory
  • Materials inspection
  • Quality control
  • Other Projects as Assigned

 REQUIREMENTS

2025-2026 Signature Event Updates

  1. An Event Partner wanting to apply to host a Signature Event must have hosted events for at least 2 seasons prior to applying. 
  2. Signature Events must use the officially branded award banners for the Excellence Award and Tournament/Teamwork Champions Award.
  3. When hanging field skirts the VEX Robotics logo/brand name can not be covered up on the competition fields.
  4. VEX V5 Robotics Competition Signature Events may have regional capacity and max per organization restrictions lifted 8 weeks before the event if the event is not full (similar to the process already in place for VEX IQ Robotics Competition Signature Events).
  5. Minimum pit size reduced to 8’x 8’ instead of 10’x10’.
  6. Beginning in the 2025-2026 season, the REC Foundation will collect $10 instead of $5 per team registration on all Signature Events. This is to help offset travel costs for REC Foundation staff to support these larger events.

2025-2026 Signature Event Application Reminders

  1. Existing Signature Events only need to complete the Final Application (due by March 31, 2025)
  2. New Signature Event concepts will need to complete the Initial Proposal by January 31, 2025 and if approved, complete the Final Application by March 31, 2025.
