Design, build, and test next-generation automated packaging equipment with a dynamic, fun team in either Charlotte, NC (Corporate HQ) or Duncan, SC (Production HQ)

Here are some examples of the equipment that we design: 

• Robotic Bag Loaders
• Printing System
• Conveyors

We also compete in the annual Whitewater Center Build Your Own Boat Competition

Our Undergraduate Interns and Co-ops typically have a primary project that they work on for the duration of their term, in addition to smaller learning and training opportunities and mini-projects.  We hire Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, and other engineers.

This is not a desk-only job, you'll be back and forth between a CAD station, our testing and assembly labs, and talking to people.

Engineering

• Plan and conduct food packaging equipment research projects
• Work hands-on to test, troubleshoot, assemble, and modify various pieces of food packaging equipment and their components
• Work with Application Experts in their field
• Work with manufacturing to build prototypes and commercial equipment
• Prepare and modify engineering drawings for ongoing projects
• Plan and conduct testing of machines to validate fitness for use in the field

Personal Development:

• Informal and Formal mentorship and exposure to leadership
• Present to Leadership at the end of each rotation
• Speaking opportunities, written communication coaching, and "how-to-corporate"

Opportunities to Learn: 

• Machine Shop Skills
• Machine and Electrical Safety
• Process and Manufacturing Controls

Note: Our primary customers are in the raw protein industry.  Many of our internal tests involve exposure to raw protein products (think what you could buy in the meat case at the grocery store and putting them through a machine).  

If you don't meet all of the qualifications above but this sounds like a great fit to you, please apply anyways!  Note, linked posting at Sealed Air Site is the same for Summer and Fall 2025 Co-Ops, please indicate which term you are applying for on your resume or in the comments.
