My experience

Overview

Mostly created/fixed drawings for existing tool changer modules. Also modified/customised existing modules to fit customer needs. I also designed several fixtures to help production and calibration of different products. That was the most fun as I got to play around with fiber optics equipments, go through the design process, learn GD&T and help make progress in R&D.

I will say that COVID did slow down business so that might have contributed to why I didn't have too much to do. However, the work I did do felt important as they do go into the customer. I would say the position isn't the most exciting, but it wasn't a waste of time. The company also has different departments and positions for interns that have widely varying intern experiences. I would not write this position off as it was easy to get, offers decent pay and housing and have a lot of opportunities to do other things. I am going back for my second rotation but this times in the applications department which is actually located in Michigan. Will leave another review when that's over.
