• Learn the day-to-day manufacturing processes in our countertop production facility.
• Observe workflows and identify opportunities to improve quality reporting.
• Collaborate with production supervisors, quality personnel, and leadership.
• Design and develop an efficient tool or application for reporting quality issues as they occur on the production floor.
• Create a user-friendly process that enables quick, accurate, and consistent quality reporting.
• Present your final solution and recommendations to company leadership.

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Interest in Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, Six Sigma, or Quality Management.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Experience with Microsoft Excel or other data analysis tools is preferred.
• Familiarity with Power Apps, Microsoft Power Platform, SQL, Python, Power BI, or other application development tools is a plus—but not required.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience in a real manufacturing environment.
• Opportunity to lead an improvement project from concept to implementation.
• Exposure to manufacturing operations, quality systems, and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Mentorship from experienced manufacturing leaders.
