Job Description:
Our 2026 Summer Internship program is a wonderful opportunity for rising 2027 graduates to immerse themselves in an innovative and mission driven culture.

You will have the chance to make lifelong friendships, expand your network, and learn all about what it's like to work in a high-growth, fast scaling tech unicorn. You'll take part in company sponsored events and enjoy exploring a new city. Read on below to learn more about this unique internship!
As an intern on the Production Planning team, you will work to establish demonstrated build times for 100% of produced assemblies at the Frisco manufacturing facility. You will be required to observe and time the builds of every unique assembly produced in Frisco. These times will be recorded, part number by part number, and loaded into manufacturing systems. You will be required to move between work centers, track one of each individual assembly, and only time hands-on technician labor. This will require bouncing between orders, activating timers only while builds are active and maintaining a spreadsheet to record all times. Desired end state will be to have a recorded build time for 100% of unique built assemblies. During the course of these builds, you will also observe the “cradle to grave” process of a manufacturing order and offer suggestions for improvements in the flow of material and tracking of orders.
