Product Development Jobs & Engineering Internships

Yes. We take engineering, design, prototyping, marketing and business interns year-round at our Ruston, Louisiana facility, with the heaviest intake for summer and fall semesters. Interns work on live client projects with a senior engineer or designer reviewing the work.

Internship terms depend on the role, the semester and whether the placement is tied to school credit or a co-op program. Apply and tell us your situation — school, credit requirements and availability — and we will tell you exactly what the placement looks like.

Mechanical, electrical, firmware, software and microelectronics engineers; industrial, mechanical and graphic designers; prototyping and fabrication technicians; and business development, sales, project management and marketing roles.

Most of our work is hardware, so engineering, design and prototyping roles are on-site in Ruston, Louisiana. Some software, marketing and business roles can be partly remote. Say what you need in your application.

SolidWorks and Fusion 360 for CAD, KeyShot for rendering, Altium or KiCad for electronics, C/C++ and Python for firmware and tooling, Adobe Creative Suite and Figma for design, plus FDM and resin printers, CNC equipment and a full electronics and test bench.

Three to five projects you personally drove, each with the problem, what you decided and why, and a photo or screenshot of the result. A rough student project you actually built beats a polished render of something that was never made.

No. We hire from mechanical, electrical, computer and industrial engineering, industrial and graphic design, and business programs, and we have hired people with no degree who could clearly show the work.

Apply anyway. We keep an active pool and open roles as projects land, so applications from strong engineers, designers and prototypers get reviewed whether or not a named opening exists that week.

Build and finish something, then show it. The fastest route into product development is a small portfolio of things you personally took from idea to physical result — a printed mechanism, a working PCB, a piece of firmware, a rendered concept with the reasoning behind it. Then apply for an internship or technician role, where you learn the rest of the lifecycle on live projects instead of waiting for a title.

Pay for engineering internships varies widely by company, region and whether the placement is for school credit or a co-op. We set internship terms per role and semester and tell you exactly what a placement looks like once we have your application, school and availability — we do not post a blanket rate we would have to caveat.

Yes. We are in Ruston, minutes from Louisiana Tech, and a large share of our interns and junior engineers have come from Louisiana Tech, Grambling State and other north Louisiana programs in Monroe, Shreveport and beyond. Students from outside the region apply too and are welcome as long as they can be on-site in Ruston for the placement.

Apply in the fall or early spring for a summer placement, and roughly a semester ahead for fall or spring terms. Applications stay open all year, so a late application still gets read — it just competes for whatever slots are left.
