Description

Description Hydrotech- Isaacs is seeking a curious, motivated Engineering Co-Op to join our Industrial Hydraulics and Application Engineering team. This role is designed for students who want hands-on engineering experience in a real-world manufacturing and automation environment—working alongside experienced engineers, technicians, and project teams. This co-op provides exposure to hydraulic systems, electrical controls, system assembly, field service, CAD support, and application engineering. If you enjoy problem-solving, being hands-on, and learning how machines really work, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your skills. What You’ll Do Rotational Learning & Development Participate in onboarding, safety training, and engineering team introductions. Learn foundational hydraulic and fluid power concepts (pressure, flow, schematics, etc.). Build knowledge of Hydrotech product lines and common industrial applications. Work with an assigned mentor to set goals and track progress throughout the semester. Assembly & Shop Support Assist in building hydraulic power units, plumbing, hose routing, and system startup. Conduct basic inspections, leak checks, and build verification tasks. Support electrical panel wiring, continuity checks, and basic troubleshooting. Help assemble modular guarding using aluminum framing and layout drawings. Document build issues and identify opportunities for standardization and improvement. Service & Technical Support Assist with teardown, inspection, and diagnosis of hydraulic components. Observe service calls and support troubleshooting efforts. Help collect technical data and document repair findings or system configurations. Application Engineering Support Review hydraulic circuits, update schematics, and assist with concept development. Support creation and revision of bills of materials, drawings, and project documents. Use vendor sizing tools and configurators for valves, pumps, motors, cylinders, etc. Assist with CAD updates (AutoCAD or similar) for schematics and layouts. Participate in engineering reviews and technical team discussions. Administrative & Project Support Maintain organized files, notes, and engineering documentation. Assist with developing templates, checklists, and standard work tools. Support internal analysis projects (quote history, costing, design libraries, etc.). Present a summary of learning and project contributions at semester’s end What You Bring Currently pursuing an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Engineering Technology, Fluid Power, or related field. Interest in industrial hydraulics, automation, controls, or manufacturing engineering. Ability to work full-time during the academic semester following Hydrotech’s co-op structure. Prior hands-on exposure (labs, projects, fabrication, CAD, shop work) is helpful but not required. Basic familiarity with fluid power or electrical systems is a plus. Proficiency with Microsoft Office; exposure to AutoCAD/SolidWorks preferred. Strong attention to detail, organization, communication skills, and willingness to learn. Authorization to work in the U.S. (no sponsorship available). Why Hydrotech-Isaacs?
