Mechanical Engineering Co-op Summer and Fall 2023
Mechanical Engineering Co-op
Tylok Mechanical Engineering co-op students engage in projects that improve products, lead productivity improvements, ensure the quality and safety of products, and enhance profitability. Co-op students gain hands-on experience with engineering in a manufacturing and design setting and assist in new product development and continues product improvement to maximize the success of the company.
While co-op students work primarily with engineers and other engineering co-op students, Tylok encourages interaction with the full cross-section of the enterprise, from machinist through executives and ownership.
Individual projects are typically assigned from a managed list of pre-approved projects driven by Tylok’s strategic plan, but some projects may be assigned in response to emerging demands. Progress is reviewed by the Plant Manager, Technical Director, Co-Op supervisor, and engineers during weekly meetings and by senior management and ownership at co-op completion. Co-op students are encouraged to set and pursue personal goals in addition to meeting project deadlines.
The Mechanical Engineering Co-op is a full-time position, working at Tylok’s facility in Euclid, OH.
