Lumentum DIB Scholarship
Lumentum awarded scholarships of $10,000.00 to 10 of our 2022 U.S. based interns from underrepresented groups. We will also award scholarships in 2023. To be considered for the scholarship, the first thing you need to do is apply for a Lumentum internship so you can be considered for a job with us. To receive the DIB scholarship, you must complete a summer internship with Lumentum.
Overview
The mechanical engineering team for Lumentum’s commercial lasers business unit will be working on high power laser applications and products. The design and optimization for these projects require a large volume of engineering, drawing, drafting and documentation updates. The intern will assist in modification and implementation of updated drawings and documents for these activities/projects. Manager(s) and mentor(s) will support the intern and aid in assigning and completing engineering tasks as well as exposing the intern to a broad range of activities and practices that will enable them to build their skillset and engineering capabilities. Work will be dominated by onsite activities and scheduled/planned remote working sessions.
Responsibilities
The Mechanical Engineering Intern’s responsibilities would include but not be limited to the following:
Creation, definition, editing and documentation of engineering standards and practices that will span the length of the internship.
Supervised component and mechanism design, specification capture and definition, using production cad tools and process.
Designing, purchasing, assembly, testing, and validation of opto-mechanical parts, subsystems, and tooling.
Working closely with manager(s), mentor(s) and senior mechanical engineers to complete assigned tasks.
Upon completion, the opportunity to present findings to senior management will be provided.
Release of documentation into revision tracking system.
