Engineering Equipment & Metrology Internship
Location: Lexington, KY
Type: Onsite
This is more than just an internship. It’s an opportunity to turn engineering knowledge into hands-on experience and make a measurable impact on manufacturing operations.
At Neogen , we believe in developing the next generation of innovative thinkers, problem-solvers, and industry leaders. Our internship program offers meaningful, hands-on experience where you'll have the opportunity to apply your classroom knowledge, collaborate with experienced professionals, and contribute to projects that support our global operations.
The Opportunity
As an Engineering Equipment & Metrology Intern , you'll gain valuable, real-world experience in manufacturing engineering, equipment troubleshooting, metrology, calibration, and continuous improvement while working alongside Neogen's experienced Engineering team. This is an exciting opportunity to see how engineering principles, technical problem-solving, and precision measurement come together to support reliable manufacturing operations. You'll play an active role in several meaningful engineering initiatives, including the rehabilitation and testing of existing equipment, support for new manufacturing technology, improvements to metrology and calibration processes, and workplace organization initiatives.
From helping restore equipment performance and executing structured tests to improving asset documentation and implementing practical shop-floor solutions, your contributions will help strengthen equipment readiness, operational efficiency, and engineering processes. Throughout your internship, you'll receive hands-on mentorship and guidance while developing the technical, analytical, and professional skills needed to succeed in engineering, manufacturing, equipment reliability, or quality-related careers.
