Co-op Technical Engineering Process Development

The Co-op experience at Rexroth-Charlotte will consist of three rotations through the Technical Engineering Functions Department. Each major technical work area is further described below: 

BPS (Bosch Production Systems) exposure to a manufacturing environment; exposure to reviewing system performance for improvements; exposure to process standardization and performance improvement; reading and developing value stream maps and layout designs; exposure to standardized work documentation 5S SMED TAKT analysis Ergonomic assessments and standard time data management. 
TEF1 (Technical Engineering Functions) exposure to processes and detailed work instructions; investigating and troubleshooting manufacturing issues; participating in FMEA Control plans development and capability studies; participating in FMEA risk reduction and process capability improvements; participating in tooling and machining evaluations; Support tooling design and shop layouts using Solidworks and AutoCAD software; exposure to machining and assembling parts.
TEF2 (Process Development) exposure to cross-functional project management for large capital expenditure projects; participating in process release planning and tasks; design construction and modification of manufacturing workstations and tooling; design using CAD programs; exposure to value stream design and materials planning.
TEF3 (Tool & Die/TPM) exposure to CNC machining tooling selection design and setup. TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) program creation implementation and sustainment. 
TEF6 (Core Industrial Engineering) exposure to core Industrial Engineering functions including Work Efficiency tracking and reporting Ergonomics evaluations and reporting MTM time standards and the implementation and maintenance within an ERP system. 
TEF7 (Industry 4.0 digitalization) exposure to I4.0 strategy development deployment and maintenance as well as Digital Manufacturing Standards.

Co-op Program Overview

The Co-operative Education (Co-op) Program consists of three alternating full-time work rotations integrated with the students university schedule. This structure allows participants to apply classroom knowledge to real-world engineering challenges while gaining valuable professional experience across multiple semesters.

Rotation Schedule:

• First Rotation: January May 2026

• Second Rotation: August December 2026

• Third Rotation: May August 2027

Format:
Each rotation is a full-time on-site assignment (40 hours per week) where students engage in hands-on technical projects process improvements and cross-functional collaboration. Between rotations students return to university to continue their academic coursework.

Program Duration:
Approximately 1820 months total depending on university schedule alignment.

Objective:
To provide a structured pathway for students to develop technical expertise problem-solving skills and professional growth through direct industry involvement.

Remote Work :

No

Employment Type :

Full-time
