Summer Chemical Engineering Co-Op - Summer 2027 Rotation

Engineering the Future with AI

This isn't your typical manual drafting internship. At SSOE, you’ll join a team that prioritizes AI adoption, providing you with high-level access to Large Language Models and vibe-coding tools to transform how chemical engineering is executed. You will gain hands-on experience in process operations, 3D CAD modeling, and instrumentation design, all while being encouraged to use AI to optimize your technical workflows.

Core Responsibilities

• Collaborate on real-world process engineering projects under expert mentorship from the Department Manager.
• Utilize 2D and 3D CAD tools to build complex industrial models and piping schematics.
• Leverage SSOE’s suite of AI tools to accelerate design, streamline documentation, and solve complex engineering problems.
• Experience the physical side of the job through client facility visits and process operation observations.

Requirements & Career Growth

We are looking for engineering students (Chemical, Agricultural, or similar) who are currently in their second or third year of an ABET-accredited program. This role is perfect for students who want to move beyond manual entry and embrace modern, AI-integrated development methods. You will receive specific training on leveraging LLMs responsibly, giving you a distinct competitive edge in the evolving engineering landscape.
