Automation/Manufacturing Engineering Intern

Ultradent Products | South Jordan, UT | On-site | Part-time (school year) / Full-time (summer)
 

About the Role

Ultradent is seeking a driven, high-potential engineering student to join our Automation Engineering team. You'll work alongside an experienced, multidisciplinary team on real-world challenges spanning mechanical and electrical design, controls, robotics, and data analytics. You don't need every qualification on day one — we value curiosity, initiative, and the ability to learn quickly.

 

This position is paid at an hourly rate of $24/hour.
 

What You'll Work On

Projects vary by team needs and your interests, but past and current intern work includes:

  • Designing and building fixtures, tooling, and mechanical components for automated manufacturing equipment
  • Developing and testing control logic for automated systems
  • Prototyping concepts using CNC machining, 3D printing, and assembly lab equipment
  • Analyzing production and test data to identify and drive process improvements
  • Supporting cross-functional projects with R&D and Sustaining Engineering, seeing how products move from development through ongoing support

 

What You'll Learn

Depending on your projects, you'll have opportunities to develop skills in:

  • 3D Modeling: Build proficiency in SolidWorks to create robust, efficient designs
  • Design for Machinability: Design parts for speed, precision, and cost-effective manufacturing
  • Automation: Explore how electrical, mechanical, and control systems come together in automated equipment
  • Programming: Develop software skills, including object-oriented programming and test-driven development
  • Prototyping: Use our lab resources — assembly and cutting equipment, CNC machining, and 3D printing — to test and refine ideas quickly
  • Machining: Gain exposure to machining fundamentals and how parts are made
  • Statistics & Systems Thinking: Apply statistical methods to real data and build a broader understanding of complex systems

 

Who Thrives Here

  • Curious and hands-on: You want to understand how things work, enjoy prototyping and testing, and often go beyond the classroom to learn more
  • Inventive: You look for better ways to design, build, and improve products, systems, and processes
  • Driven and proactive: You take initiative, seek ways to add value, and move work forward with ownership
  • Collaborative and growth-minded: You build on different perspectives, ask questions, seek feedback, and learn quickly from those around you

 

Details

  • Location: South Jordan, UT (on-site)
  • Hours: 16–20 hours per week during the school year; full-time during the summer. Flexible scheduling is available to support your academic commitments.
  • Duration: Most internships last six months to one year, with potential to extend based on performance, contribution, and interest

 

Minimum Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in an engineering degree program (mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, computer, or related field)
  • Able to work on-site at our South Jordan, UT facility
  • Preference for first- through third-year students able to commit to multiple semesters
