Manufacturing Engineer Intern
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 30, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 11, 2026. V2X scores B on the Alion truth index.
Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $3.9B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism.
The Manufacturing Engineering Intern will support metal fabrication and mechanical assembly operations by generating work instructions and resolving production issues through hands-on support. The engineering intern will participate in a multi-week rotations that introduces the intern to the numerous facets of manufacturing engineering and design engineering. During these rotations, the intern will learn and support the development of production processes and industrial engineering (including ergonomics and safety in manufacturing, and metal fabrication processes); design and development of fixturing, jigs, gages, and tooling; quality control and continuous improvement, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA), and an introduction to Additive Manufacturing (AM)(FDM/FFF process).
Responsibilities
Interns will learn to assess manufacturability based on engineering print reviews. They will then support & develop production operation sequences for component-level fabrication or generate work instructions for assembly operations. They may conduct time studies for process refinement and continuous improvement, and support resolution of issues arising during ongoing production processes. Interns may design/develop fixturing and support the development of tooling. Interns may support Industrial Engineering projects through CAD layout revisions and/or conduct coordinations across cross-functional or interdepartmental teams. Interns may also be assigned administrative tasks that support growth and learning through familiarization of manufacturing processes and support functions-such as updating tooling records, operating procedures, and supporting Change Management functions. Additionally, Manufacturing Engineering interns may also shadow some design engineers for a short rotation to learn design principles and processes, and to learn the transition process from design to production.
Qualifications
Required Skills (Entry-Level Position):
- See Education Requirements
- Please include your transcript with your resume.
Desired Experience & Skills:
- Familiarity with Metal Fabrication processes and/or Lean Manufacturing Principles.
- Basic-level familiarization with 3D modeling/CAD software such as PTC Creo, Solidworks, Inventor, etc.
- Basic understanding of material (mechanical) properties. Ability to lift up to 40 lbs.
Education Requirements:
- Candidate must be enrolled in an ABET-accredited college or university, pursing a technical degree in Engineering such as Manufacturing Engineering or Mechanical Engineering (inc. MET), Industrial Engineering, or a closely related STEM field.
- Must have obtained Junior, Senior, or Post graduate status as of Spring 2027.
- A cumulative GPA of 3.0+ in an engineering-focused discipline (preferably Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, etc.) is strongly desired.
At V2X, we are deeply committed to both equal employment opportunity, including protection for Veterans and individuals with disabilities, and fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We ensure all individuals are treated with fairness, respect, and dignity, recognizing the strength that comes from a workforce rich in diverse experiences, perspectives, and skills. This commitment, aligned with our core Vision and Values of Integrity, Respect, and Responsibility, allows us to leverage differences, encourage innovation, and expand our success in the global marketplace, ultimately enabling us to best serve our clients.
