Design And Prototyping Engineering

Description:

As a mechanical & materials process intern, you will report directly to our lead process developers. You will be involved with projects that relate to mechanical design, proto-typing, fabrication, high temperature process design, materials testing, and recycled product development. You will become intimately familiar with our technologies and process team workflow allowing you to drive integration and high-level improvements to the process.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Melting furnace development project

a. Advance current furnace prototypes

b. Rapid proto-typing design and builds of (burner nozzles, crucibles, rotary furnace components, electrode set-ups, electrical wiring)

c. Mechanical design, sourcing, fabrication of production scale furnace based on successful proto-types

2. Vertical Shaft Impactor Design and Build

a. Review technology/source potential options

b. Design, fabricate, build professional production scale device

3. Set-up ICP-OES for regular lab scale testing

4. Assist in set-up of abrasive recycling proto-types and pilot plants

5. Testing and modifying materials for product scoping and development

a. Evaluating slag/recycled materials for suitability as cement replacements, blasting media.

b. R&D testing as new challenges arise

6. Project leading

7. Report and presentation preparation

8. Support process team on project deliverables
