For more information, please read our and .If you are a **Mechanical Engineering Student** looking for an opportunity to grow, Copeland has an exciting opportunity for you within our Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Department! Based at our **Sidney, Ohio** or **St. Louis, Missouri** locations, you will improve your skills learned in the classroom by balancing the priorities of multiple engineering teams and projects. You will collaborate with different departments in addition to their own, in areas such as Manufacturing, Quality, Procurement, Sales, Materials, Management, etc. You will need to be willing to spend time in a manufacturing setting, in a lab/testing environment, and/or be willing to work in an office setting. Your responsibilities will combine individual tasks as well as collaborative work or group projects.* **Project Engineering -** Participate in problem solving teams, collaborate with Designers and the test lab to prove out new concepts, work on cross functional teams to optimize company processes, and conduct research into legacy test data to analyze product’s performance against new products in development.* **Manufacturing Quality Engineering -** Troubleshoot equipment and gages, design and implement process improvements, and maintain document control. Candidate will gain experience in GD&T, print reading, and measuring parts to specifications, which could include CMM usage. Candidate will also have the opportunity to use Oracle, Teamcenter, PCDMIS, Siemens NX, Inventor, Lighthouse, and configuration control software programs.* **Modeling & Simulation -** Assist in generating simulation models, gathering necessary inputs including geometric data, material properties and boundary conditions. Gain exposure to and support initiatives involving optimization methods, machine learning applications, finite element analysis (FEA), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) aimed at improving product performance and reliability.* **New Product Development -** Work hand-in-hand with other engineers in the development of cutting-edge scroll compression technology, with the objective of creating sustainable, low GWP solutions on a global scale. Activities will include managing builds, working in our labs to monitor testing and collecting/summarizing data.* **Design Engineering -** Assist in designing and observing testing of HVAC components and systems to support new product development, sustaining and performance optimization. This includes collaborating with cross-functional teams (engineering, manufacturing, quality) to support prototyping, testing, and product improvement initiatives, as well as preparing detailed documentation and reports on design changes.* **Applications Engineer -** Work cross functionally with sales, engineering, marketing, quality, and operations. You will lead and/or support special projects including: customer sample support & metrics, system testing at DSN, deep dive into EVI thermodynamic benefits, deep dive into variable speed tools, HMI, programming and troubleshooting.* **Air Management -** Participate in Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis discussions to identify high-risk areas and develop testing strategies, provide design support with CAD modeling and drafting, support projects involving airflow, pressure, regulation, and thermal performance, and be involved in testing and implementation of new materials in production.* Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s program in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or related field* Legal authorization to work in the United States – Sponsorship will not be provided for this role* Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher* Strong interest in manufacturing, process improvement, or product design* Skills or coursework in areas such as CAD/3D modeling, machining, data analysis, Lean/continuous improvement, or automation* Anticipated Graduation of May 2027* Conversion focused program offering competitive compensation and benefits* Flexible dress code and collaborative work environment* Access to social, networking, and professional development events* Relocation assistance may be provided to program participants who reside more than 51 miles from the internship location.Across the globe, we are united by a singular Purpose: Sustainability is no small ambition.
