Electromechanical Component Intern

What will you do?

• In this role, you will support the standardization of electromechanical components across the organization, with a strong focus on connector families such as board‑to‑board (BTB), board‑to‑wire (BTW), terminal blocks, and I/O connectors. Your responsibilities will include:
  
  • Analyzing, classifying, and documenting electromechanical components to ensure consistent standardization across systems.
  • Supporting the creation, maintenance, and improvement of internal component catalogs and technical databases.
  • Reviewing technical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and relevant documentation from manufacturers.
  • Collaborating with cross‑functional teams (Engineering, Procurement, SQE, and Category Management) to align standards and ensure component accuracy.
  • Preparing clear reports, presentations, and communications to update stakeholders on standardization progress.
  • Supporting continuous improvement activities related to component selection, data quality, and workflow optimization.
  • Helping identify and eliminate duplicated or obsolete components in the system.

• Success in this role is driven by strong analytical, organizational, and communication capabilities. Key skills include:
  
  • Organization & attention to detail - essential for managing large quantities of component data and documentation.
  • Clear communication - to effectively coordinate with global teams, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
  • Technical understanding of electromechanical components, especially connectors and mechanical characteristics.
  • Problem‑solving and critical thinking to interpret datasheets and ensure accurate classification.
  • Basic engineering judgment when reviewing mechanical specifications and determining component families.
  • Adaptability and willingness to learn, especially in a fast‑paced engineering environment.
  • Proficiency with Excel, PLM tools, and documentation systems (or willingness to quickly learn them).

• Growth, Learning, and Opportunities
  
  This internship provides hands‑on experience in a core part of the electromechanical supply chain and engineering pipeline. Benefits include:
  
  • Practical exposure to electromechanical component classification and standardization.
  • Strengthening your ability to read and interpret datasheets for connectors and mechanical parts.
  • Developing highly transferable skills in organization, documentation, and technical communication.
  • Broad visibility into Procurement, Engineering, and Supplier interactions.
  • Experience with enterprise systems for component management (PLM, catalog tools, internal databases).
  • Mentorship from experienced engineering and category professionals.
  • A strong foundation for future roles in Engineering, Component Management, Procurement, or Reliability.

• You will report to the Electromechanical Components NA Representative, who oversees the standardization strategy and alignment across global teams. You will collaborate with:
  
  • Engineering teams who rely on accurate component classification.
  • Category Management and Procurement teams involved in supplier and part decisions.
  • SQE and Environmental Compliance teams when component data impacts approval processes.
    This is an individual contributor role, but with constant interaction across departments, offering visibility and collaboration opportunities.

• Key Qualifications for Thriving
  
  • Currently pursuing a degree in Electromechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Foundational understanding of electromechanical components
  • Ability to read and interpret technical datasheets and basic mechanical parameters.
  • Strong organizational skills and disciplined task management.
  • Effective written and verbal communication for collaborating with global teams in english
  • Familiarity (or willingness to learn) with PLM systems, part catalogs, and documentation workflows.
  • Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office tools, especially Excel.
  • Analytical mindset and eagerness to learn new technical concepts.
