Applications Engineering Intern

Description

MUST BE A JUNIOR OR SENIOR STUDENT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE POSITION

Nature and Scope:

Sun Hydraulics, LLC in Sarasota, FL has a paid Applications Engineer internship opportunity available for Summer 2025. We fill the summer openings by spring break. Students are offered an introductory hydraulics class. The internship offers the opportunity to see not only how the different engineering classes are applied in a manufacturing and engineering business. Toward the end of the internship, we ask interns to give group presentations suggesting improvements that they may have identified during the defined project.

Qualifications:

Hands on, self-motivated students from mechanical, mechatronic, mechanical engineering technology, agriculture, electrical/electronic, and industrial engineering related programs are encouraged to apply. Undergraduate and graduate students that have had controls, fluid power, or hydraulics course work are especially encouraged to apply. Previous internship experience in a manufacturing environment is useful, but not necessary. Our preference is for students who have an interest in an engineering career working in Florida.

Responsibilities:

• Supporting Cartridge, Integrated Packages, and Systems Engineering groups by working with a cross functional engineering team to develop demonstration and test examples using Sun Hydraulics and Helios Technologies products.
  • Experience programming in CODESYS is ideal but not required. C Programming or similar experience and the ability to communicate requirements with CODESYS programmers is required.
  • Cross functional engineering experience is preferred.
• Create presentations that aid in the understanding of the demonstration example to aid in customer training.
• Update product training documentation with engineering cross sections, test data, and other engineering information.
  • Knowledge of Creo (engineering modeling software) and Windchill (PLM software) or similar is preferred. The ability and willingness to learn is required.
  • Attention to detail is required to ensure training materials are clear.
  • Good communication skills are required, including verbal, written, and engineering documentation

The three-month, summer internship is the beginning step toward future employment at Sun Hydraulics after graduating from an engineering program.
