POSITION SUMMARY
The Rotational Engineer participates in a selective two-year development program designed to help early-career engineers explore broadly, grow quickly, and discover where they can make their greatest impact within Oshkosh Corporation.
The program consists of six (6) rotations of approximately four (4) months each, providing hands-on experience across engineering disciplines, product teams, business segments, and cross-functional areas. Rotational Engineers gain broad exposure to Oshkosh products, vehicle systems, engineering processes, and business operations while building technical capability, professional confidence, and enterprise perspective.
This program is designed for curious, adaptable, and motivated engineers who want to explore before specializing. Participants will work with different teams and leaders, contribute to meaningful projects, build relationships across the company, and develop a stronger understanding of where their skills and interests align with long-term career opportunities.
At the completion of the program, Rotational Engineers pursue final placement opportunities based on individual performance, demonstrated interests, business need, and long-term career fit.
