Engineering Summer Apprentice

Delevan, a Regal Rexnord brand, has been engineering high-reliability magnetic components and precision resolvers for over 80 years. Our products fly, drive, and guide some of the most demanding aerospace and defense systems in the world supporting major defense primes. We design and manufacture to AS9100D and MIL-SPEC standards in our East Aurora, NY facility. 

The Opportunity 

We're hiring a Summer Engineering Apprentice on our Magnetics & Resolvers Engineering team for a hands-on, full-lifecycle experience covering design, manufacturing, and process engineering. You'll own real deliverables on active aerospace and defense programs and present your results to engineering leadership. 

What You'll Do 

• Design (~40%): Support custom transformer, inductor, and resolver designs. Run magnetic design calculations, build CAD models and drawings, and assist with prototype builds and lab characterization (LCR meters, hi-pot testing, ect.). 

• Manufacturing (~30%): Develop fixtures and tooling (including 3D-printed fixtures), support First Article Inspections and qualification builds, and contribute to Manufacturing Standard Instructions on the production floor. 

• Process (~30%): Apply Lean / Six Sigma tools to yield improvement, Gage R&R, capability studies, root cause investigations, and continuous improvement projects.
