Polymer Engineer Intern

At US Conec, we design and manufacture precision fiber-optic interconnects that power the world’s fastest data centers, telecom networks, and supercomputers. We’re the backbone powering AI. We seek a motivated Materials Science Engineering Intern excited to develop skills bridging analytical research and manufacturing processes using material structure–property relationships.

You’ll develop a strong understanding of all aspects of the manufacturing process using key analytical tools. Apply knowledge of drying, rheology, and thermal properties of materials to support process improvements. Gain hands-on experience with advanced analytical lab equipment including SEM, AFM, TGA, DSC, TMA, rheometers, moisture analysis, microscopy, particle size analysis, and gas pycnometry.

Collect and analyze data to make informed, data-driven decisions in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. Eagerness to learn and collaborate will help you thrive. Exposure to real-world challenges optimizes manufacturing efficiency and product performance.

Apply design of experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis techniques to solve manufacturing problems. Build skills in polymer-related processes like compounding and twin-screw extrusion. This internship offers practical insights into precision manufacturing for high-tech applications.
