International Battery Manufacturing Equipment Planning Intern (Spring 2025)

A good student experience is never hands-off. We believe in creating an environment where students really can learn by doing during their time with us and where they are given their own areas of responsibilities from the start. That’s why you are treated as part of the team from day one and are encouraged to bring your own ideas to the table.
