Does an internship spent exploring robots and other automation technology sound fun? Do you like the idea of identifying, developing, and testing new robotic applications? Do you view yourself as a “maker”? If you answered yes to these three questions, then we’d like to talk with you about an automation internship at Buffalo Manufacturing Works.
Buffalo Manufacturing Works, operated by EWI, is a one-of-kind center for advanced manufacturing. We are focused on developing, maturing, and implementing new technologies that have an impact on the clients we work with and the communities in which they live. Our customers are based across the country and include world-class leaders in the aerospace, automotive, consumer products, electronics, medical, energy & chemical, government, and heavy manufacturing industries. Located in Buffalo, New York, we are dedicated to building a nationally recognized hub of manufacturing innovation and are looking for smart, entrepreneurial, and driven people to help us achieve this goal.
We are currently looking to add an intern to our automation team. You’ll get exposure to a wide range of automation projects and activities with the team. For example:
- Helping to identify and research potential automation technologies that could be used to support new applications
- Working hands-on with collaborative robots (cobots) and a variety of supporting technologies to perform proof-of-concept testing
- Participating in client discussions
- Supporting internal automation development projects
- Learning a ton about automation
This role requires someone who:
- Has a strong “maker” mindset. Creativity and a strong drive to “figure it out” is critical
- Is hardworking, ambitious, and enthusiastic about automation technologies
- Works efficiently and safely in both independent and team situations
- Has good time management skills, and always follow-through on commitments
During the summer semester, interns work 40 hours a week with potential for some overtime hours.
