NPI Process Engineering Co-op

Overview In this NPI Process Engineering Co-Op, you will help move new medical products from prototype to pilot production and final transfer to contract manufacturers. You’ll work with process engineers to assess manufacturability and assembly efficiency, develop assembly processes, and support tool development and DoE validation. The role emphasizes cross‑functional collaboration to resolve assembly and production issues and to create detailed process documentation for pilot and contract teams. This hands‑on opportunity sits at the Nashua NPI center, contributing to product introductions in a dynamic manufacturing environment. You’ll gain practical experience shaping production-ready solutions that ResponsibilitiesAssess manufacturability (DFM) and assembly ease (DFA) of new medical designsParticipate in building electro-mechanical assemblies to develop assembly flows and identify risksCreate detailed assembly process documents for pilot production and contract manufacturersCollaborate with lead process engineer to identify and develop assembly and test toolsAssist in evaluating assembly issues and work with cross-functional teams to implement solutionsContribute to equipment development and validation, including DoE planning for production‑intent processes Key requirementsStrong initiative and ownership of work productSolutions‑oriented attitude for problem solvingExcellent mechanical aptitude with structured problem‑solving methods (5Why, Ishikawa, RedX) preferredTeamwork and project experience (e.g., FIRST, FormulaSAE) preferredBasic to intermediate SolidWorks skills (parts/assemblies, 2D drawings)Technical or creative writing abilityExperience in a machine shopProficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)Ability to work full‑time on-site in Nashua, NHCurrently enrolled in a 4‑year university studying Mechanical, Manufacturing, Biomedical or Industrial Engineering with a 3.0+ GPAAvailability to work Jan–Jun 2027initiativeownershipproblem-solving mindsetSolidWorksDOE design and validation2D drawing creation
