Product Engineer Co-Op - Summer 2027 Program Duration: End of May – End of December Location: Pella, IA (on-site)

Description

Pella Corporation is seeking motivated engineering students for our Product Engineering Co-Op in Pella, Iowa.

This co-op provides hands-on experience supporting product development and engineering initiatives through meaningful projects that contribute to quality, cost, and product performance objectives. Co-op students work alongside experienced engineers and cross-functional teams while developing technical, analytical, and professional skills in a real-world environment.

The extended duration of the co-op allows participants to gain deeper project ownership, see projects through multiple phases of development, and build a stronger understanding of how engineering supports business objectives.

If you're interested in applying engineering principles to product development, solving technical challenges, and gaining experience similar to that of an entry-level engineer, we'd love to connect with you.
