You will troubleshoot alongside the operators and technicians who run the line, bring your own analysis to production support meetings, and present your results to engineering leadership before you leave. \nAbout Lexington Medical \nLexington Medical designs and manufactures AEON™ surgical stapling technology at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, just outside Boston. Our products are used in minimally invasive surgery, where precision, reliability, and quality matter every time. Because engineering, manufacturing, and quality work together under one roof, the people building and supporting our products are close to both the process and the decisions behind it. \nAbout the Role \nAs a Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Lexington Medical, you will work alongside manufacturing engineering on an operating line producing AEON™ surgical stapling products. Day to day, you will monitor line performance, troubleshoot equipment and process issues in real time with operators and technicians, analyze process data for trends, and propose changes such as fixturing updates or workflow revisions. Alongside that, you will own one manufacturing improvement project end to end, aligning with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality as you go. Because all three groups work in the same building in Bedford, getting that alignment means walking down the hall rather than waiting on a meeting invite. \nResponsibilities \nMonitor line performance metrics, including yield, downtime, and cycle time.\nPartner with operators and technicians to troubleshoot equipment and process issues in real time.\nPerform repairs and maintenance on custom production equipment.\nParticipate in daily and weekly production support meetings.\nAssess current processes for bottlenecks and inefficiencies and analyze process data to identify trends and improvement opportunities.\nGenerate solutions, such as fixturing updates or workflow changes, and present them to the larger manufacturing team.\nImplement approved changes by training operators, commissioning equipment, or making other line changes as needed.\nOwn a manufacturing improvement project from concept through implementation and present the outcome to engineering leadership. \nQualifications \nCurrently enrolled at an accredited university in an undergraduate or graduate program in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a similar technical discipline. \nCAD experience (SolidWorks or similar)\nYour resume should show a demonstrated ability to build and debug mechanical or electromechanical assemblies, whether from coursework, a project team, a lab, or personal projects.\nComfortable working with hand tools, shop equipment, and production machinery on the floor.\nAble to read mechanical drawings and work from SOPs and written work instructions.\nAble to clearly communicate analysis and observations to engineering team.\nSkills that are a plus: \nComfort analyzing data in Excel or a similar tool\nTime on a build team such as Formula SAE, Baja, or robotics \nWhat Success Looks Like \nYou have an understanding of your improvement project and have iterated on potential solutions.\nYou have aligned all stakeholders of your proposed change (Ex. Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality).\nBy the end of the internship, the change is running on the line and you have presented the impact it has had to the engineering team. \nLocation & Work Arrangement \nThis position is based at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, in the Greater Boston area, and is an on-site role. The internship runs from June 2027 through August 2027, on-site five days per week.\nHourly Rate\n$25—$35 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":3915,"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","Surgical Instruments & Devices"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T05:59:18Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":47,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.788,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":63,"expected_fill_days":88,"reasons":["conf:3","win:late","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":70000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lexington-med-manufacturing-engineering-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lexington-med-manufacturing-engineering-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T21:50:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":188,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678592},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678592"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flexington-med-manufacturing-engineering-intern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flexington-med-manufacturing-engineering-intern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flexington-med-manufacturing-engineering-intern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lexington-med-manufacturing-engineering-intern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flexington-med-manufacturing-engineering-intern"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":797275}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"lexington-med.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":797275},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
