Process Technology Engineering Internship

Process Technology Engineering Internship Program

Duration: July through December 2025

Locations: Lodi, CA

Application Deadline: May 28, 2025

We are seeking a motivated intern to join our team and contribute to high-impact productivity improvement projects. This is a unique opportunity to explore and build compelling business cases for innovative solutions that serve as alternatives to traditional capital investments.

The intern's projects will focus on exploring and building the business case for high-potential productivity improvements, serving as an alternative to capital solutions. The primary focus areas include robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and simulation/emulation. Specifically, the intern will work on identifying and justifying applications in robotics to improve productivity and reduce site costs. In the area of AI, the intern will identify and justify enhancements for daily workflows, with the potential to pilot these solutions for broader implementation. For simulation/emulation, the intern will help accelerate project lifecycles and minimize risks by assisting in the creation of a 'digital twin' for virtual trials. The intern will primarily focus on one or two of these areas, depending on project needs and interests.

Join us to gain hands-on experience and make a significant impact on our productivity initiatives. Apply now to be a part of our dynamic team!
