You'll take part in company sponsored events and enjoy exploring a new city. Read on below to learn more about this unique internship!
Over 10 weeks, the intern will build a Facility Design Readiness packet for XBAT: consolidate inputs across MFG, Test, EHS, Quality, and Supply Chain; map material flow and adjacencies; draft good/better/best layout options with clear assumptions; and create a lightweight capacity model tied to headcount/shift scenarios. They’ll stand up a risk & long-lead tracker (permits, utilities, critical equipment) and a simple readiness dashboard (e.g., layout option maturity, long-lead exposure, decision latency). The output is a concise Gate Pre-Read (charter, options, risks, metrics, and recommended decisions) that informs leadership a few months ahead of the next program gate.
