This role is operations-facing: setup support, fixturing/part handling, parameter capture, traveler discipline, inspection routines, and process documentation. The intern will help standardize repeatable workflows aligned with AS9100D, NADCAP, ISO 9001:2015, and CMMC Level 1-2 expectations, coordinating closely with the Materials Engineering intern for sample handoff and measurement feedback.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Manufacturing process development (machine and workflow-facing)\nSupport setup and supervised operation of multi-axis robotic motion systems and directed-energy tooling.\nAssist with fixturing concepts, part handling, tooling readiness, and setup checklists to improve repeatability.\nCapture process parameters, run IDs, equipment configuration states, and build conditions using standardized templates (objective evidence discipline).\nSupport prototype builds, parameter validation trials, and workflow standardization (sequencing, handoffs, rework paths).\n2. Inspection integration and process control\nHelp define in-process checks and inspection routines (what to measure, when to measure, how to record).\nSupport build records (travelers, route sheets, inspection signoffs where applicable).\nCoordinate sample handoffs to Materials Engineering and ensure traceability continuity.\n3. Quality system buildout (AS9100 / ISO 9001 readiness)\nDraft SOPs, work instructions, process flow diagrams, setup sheets, maintenance procedures, and calibration routines.\nSupport nonconformance logging discipline and corrective action inputs (under direction).\nHelp organize audit-ready objective evidence: revision control, record retention, training signoffs, and controlled forms.\n4. CMMC-aligned operational practices (Level 1-2)\nAssist in mapping where manufacturing data is created/stored/transmitted (parameters, travelers, inspection outputs).\nSupport checklists and short training materials for reinforcing controlled data handling practices.\n5. Engineering operations support\nSupport time studies, throughput observations, and utilization tracking to inform capacity planning.\nAssist with procurement support for tooling/consumables and readiness reviews.\nWhat You'll Gain\nHands-on exposure to multi-axis robotic motion systems and directed-energy manufacturing workflows.\nAn inside look at how aerospace/defense suppliers build compliant manufacturing systems from scratch.\nExperience creating documentation, travelers, and quality process artifacts that support future certification (AS9100 / ISO 9001).\nThe opportunity to make a direct impact on a startup manufacturing foundation within the Purdue innovation ecosystem.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3214,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T14:53:42Z"}],"liveness":{"score":77,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":0.9,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:55","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/intalus-intern-manufacturing-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/intalus-intern-manufacturing-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T18:53:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1110,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3890,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
