Ellsworth Corporation, a global, industry leading distributor of specialty chemicals and equipment and adhesive manufacturer currently has a Field Service Technician opportunity at Ellsworth Dispensing Solutions, located in Sparks, NV.  

Internship Description: 

The Electrical Engineering Intern will assist in creating electrical drawing packages, support development of new Electrical Manufacturing processes, optimize current processes, and create and review equipment requirements, while using problem-solving and continuous implementing continuous improvement actions. The Intern will help us continue to build our SolidWorks Electrical library of option drawings. 

Duties/Responsibilities: 

• Complete 150 hours of work as an intern (8-15 hours per week, 15 weeks total) 
• Create and maintain the documentation library including electrical schematics, drawings, models, bills of materials, quotes and engineering summaries utilizing CAD Systems and ERP software 
• Prepare and complete accurate product documentation (i.e. manuals, work instructions, assembly instructions, data sheets, etc.) 
• Assist in development of capabilities for new and existing machines
• Conduct assigned projects ensuring that work is completed within budgetary and time constraints while meeting customer and contractual demands. 
• Assess customer requirements, evaluate engineering design, and create complete drawing packages 
• Model components to define recommended parts procurement 
• Creates drawings and troubleshoot issues on-site and in the field
• Collaborates with production, sales, and customers to evaluate the feasibility and technical aspects of project requests - including machine capability and capacity, project cost, tooling and machine requirements, etc. 

Goals and Expectations of the Intern: 

• Build accurate SolidWorks Electrical library components, including 2D symbols, 3D models, terminal information, voltage data, manufacturer information, and other required metadata. 
• Use the completed library components to create a 3D electrical layout and electrical schematic for an assigned project. 
• Support integration of SolidWorks Electrical with DriveWorks to help automate schematics for engineered-to-order solutions. 
• Communicate progress, questions, and technical concerns clearly with the engineering and production teams. 
• Demonstrate attention to detail, organization, time management, initiative, teamwork, and openness to feedback. 

We are currently migrating to SolidWorks Electrical, and this intern will be part of the library build out. Each electrical component will have a model and all meta data created. The student will be adding all terminal info to each part, voltage info, etc. Each project will have a variety of parts that need to be generated. Once the part level is complete, they will take these parts build a 3D model and electrical schematic using this tool. We will also be integrating this software into DriveWorks to automatically create schematics for our engineered to order solutions. 

Required Qualifications: 

• Must be a degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Nevada, Reno during the Spring '27 semester
• Student must be enrolled in a program of study (major, minor, or graduate program) in the following colleges:

• Analytical thinking and problem solving 
• Ability to work under pressure and prioritize workload 
• Ability to influence and build strong relationships with cross-functional teams 
• Experience working in multidisciplinary environment 
• Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical personnel 
• Detailed oriented 
• Able to identify electrical components and interpret basic electrical schematics 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Certifications in SolidWorks (i.e. CSWA, CSWP, CSWE, CPPA, etc.), preferred
• Engineering in Training (EIT), preferred 
• SolidWorks Electrical experience 

Desired Schedule for Intern: 

The intern will work 8-15 hours per week. Internship hours can take place Monday through Friday in-person at the office from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM based on the selected intern’s availability.
