What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manufacturing Engineering Intern position at FMI?
Fiber Materials Inc. | solutions for the most extreme places in the universe
FMI's manufacturing facility has been a leading solutions provider of high temperature materials and composites for more than 50 years, serving the Department of Defense and NASA. The focus in Maine is on multidirectional reinforced Carbon/Carbon (C/C) and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) that enable high-temperature components such as: thermal protection systems, re-entry vehicle nose tips as well as rocket motor throats and nozzles.
Our materials are being used on ground-breaking space initiatives such as the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and the heat shield for NASA's Mars 2020 mission, important missile programs, airfoils in commercial and military jet engines, and as lightweight armor for U.S. military ground vehicles.
Your Role: FMI is seeking a motivated and driven Manufacturing Engineering Intern. This role may work on a variety of projects, applying their engineering education to real world experiences. This internship will be focused on improving the safety and manufacturability (quality, yield, productivity, etc.) of production equipment and processes.
