Location Profile:

Headquartered in Irvine CA Shur-Lok manufactures fastening systems with superior locking devices for critical requirements including engine module assembly structural assembly rotor blade attachment and aircraft engine shaft and spindle applications. Operations at the Irvine location include CNC Machining Punch Press Thread Rolling Laser Marking Heat Treating NDT and EDM.

Position Summary:

Youll spend the summer embedded in Shur-Loks engineering department working on two initiatives that have real lasting impact: digitizing decades of physical engineering records and completing the final push of a CAD database migration that retires a legacy enterprise system. When the summer is over the archive and the migration dont disappear but become part of the permanent engineering infrastructure for an active aerospace manufacturer.

This is detail-oriented methodical work. Its work that puts you inside a functioning engineering department handling real production drawings and CAD data for certified aerospace components. If youre the type of person who takes satisfaction in bringing order to complexity and closing things out completely this role is a good fit.

What Youll Do

• Scan organize and index physical engineering documents (drawings test reports records) into a structured digital archive
• Validate scan quality and completeness; perform corrections and rescans as needed
• Migrate CAD files from a legacy SmarTeam database into an active SolidWorks PDM vault
• Verify migrated files for accuracy completeness and correct vault structure per defined procedures
• Flag discrepancies missing files or data integrity issues for engineering review
• Track and report your own progress against defined completion targets
• Work directly alongside engineers to resolve questions on document ownership revision history or file identification

Why This Role

• Youll work directly with engineers not siloed in a separate intern program
• Your output is permanent: a completed archive and a retired legacy system are tangible deliverables
• Early exposure to PDM/PLM systems and document control practices used across the aerospace industry
• Strong performers will be considered for longer-term co-op placement

What Were Looking For

• Freshman or sophomore pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field
• Detail-oriented and methodical you follow procedures carefully and escalate when something doesnt look right
• Comfortable with computer-based tools and file systems; CAD or PDM familiarity is a plus not a requirement
• Able to work independently and track your own progress without constant oversight
• S. Person or ability to obtain export authorization
• Available full-time (40 hrs/week) for the duration of the summer term
