TITLE NEEDED

Atmus Filtration Technologies provides engineering experiences for students across a wide range of engineering disciplines and STEM aligned degree programs. Co-op roles are typically project based and the student will gain a broad range of experiences and will grow as both a person and a professional.

• Start Date: Spring 2027
• Location: Cookeville, TN
• Length of Role: 8 month minimum, 9-12 months, highly preferred.
• Education: BS or MS in: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering,

Chemical Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Student Engineering Co-op will gain knowledge and support experienced engineering staff in one or more of the following areas:

• Research & Development: Advanced manufacturing systems & processes.
• Product Design / Development / Validation: New product development, current

product support, or validation/verification planning for filtration & separation systems.

• Test Engineering: Development of new laboratory equipment, procedures, and

test methods.

• Reliability: Product development risk assessment & failure analysis.

Key Responsibilities

• Investigate & Resolve Issues: Investigates product test system and process

problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, owns problem resolution, and documents results with guidance from experienced team members.

• Process & Quality Improvement: Applies and supports the improvement of

processes (e.g., test system specification, design, and validation) and tools such as FMEA, 7-step problem solving, and process hazard analysis to enable high-quality decision-making.

• Stakeholder & Lab Collaboration: Obtains input and negotiates with lab

customers, lab technicians, and component suppliers to deliver test system requirements, processes, and instructions.

• Technical Decision-Making: Makes decisions regarding component selection,

calibration processes, and operating processes that impact test equipment accuracy, reliability, and operating costs.

• Ownership of Technical Scope: Owns problem resolution for moderately complex

components, products, systems, subsystems, or services with higher technical complexity and ambiguity, maintaining strong accountability to the project team.

• Process Execution & Development: Provides independent execution of

established work processes and systems while developing technology/product knowledge and engaging in continuous process improvement.

• Team Collaboration & Leadership: Directs and coordinates work among

technicians and temporary student employees as needed; actively contributes toward team goals and influences within the work group.

QUALIFICATIONS

To be successful in this role you will need experience in or willingness to

learn the following
