What is summer manufacturing?

Summer manufacturing jobs are temporary positions in manufacturing plants or factories that are typically available during the summer months. These roles often involve tasks such as assembly, packaging, quality control, machine operation, or material handling. They are popular among students, recent graduates, or individuals seeking seasonal work to gain hands-on experience and earn income. Summer manufacturing jobs can provide valuable skills, exposure to industrial environments, and potential pathways to long-term employment in the manufacturing sector.

What do summer manufacturing workers do?

In a summer manufacturing role, you can expect to be involved in a variety of hands-on tasks such as assembling components, performing quality checks, assisting with machine operation, or supporting routine maintenance. You'll likely work closely with experienced technicians and engineers, gaining exposure to the production process and safety protocols. These positions often offer opportunities to learn about lean manufacturing, teamwork, and efficiency improvement initiatives. This experience can provide valuable insights into the day-to-day operations of a manufacturing facility and help you build practical skills for a future career in the industry.

What skills and qualifications are needed for summer manufacturing?

To thrive as a Summer Manufacturing Worker, you typically need a high school diploma or equivalent, basic math and mechanical skills, and the ability to follow safety protocols. Familiarity with manufacturing equipment, inventory systems, and basic hand tools is often required, though on-the-job training may be provided. Strong attention to detail, teamwork, and a good work ethic help individuals excel in fast-paced production environments. These skills ensure efficient operation, product quality, and a safe workplace during peak seasonal demand.

What is the difference between Summer Manufacturing vs Summer Assembly Worker?

AspectSummer ManufacturingSummer Assembly Worker

Job description

MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING INTERN (SUMMER 2027)
Freeform builds AI-native manufacturing systems that unify software, hardware, and physics to produce industrial-scale parts at the speed of human ideation. By treating manufacturing as a single integrated system, we unlock a new era of innovation where complex hardware is designed, built, and scaled without limits.
As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Freeform, you'll be at the forefront of scaling production for high-performance metal 3D printed parts. You'll work with a talented engineering team from some of the world's most innovative companies across a range of projects to develop and refine the processes, tooling, and CNC machining workflows that enable precision manufacturing at speed and scale. This role is hands-on and fast-paced, ideal for someone eager to learn and contribute to the development of our autonomous metal 3D printing factories. You'll focus on optimizing post-processing and machining operations, helping to bridge the gap between R&D and production.
3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative individuals who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
Responsibilities:
  • Support the design and implementation of scalable manufacturing processes for new hardware and printed parts
  • Assist with fixturing, test procedures, and post-processing steps to improve part flow through the factory
  • Help develop documentation and process standards to support production scaling
  • Build and iterate on tooling, jigs, and test setups for reliable, high-throughput production
  • Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in part, material, and data flow- and work with cross-functional teams to improve them
  • Support early production efforts and help transition R&D into high-rate manufacturing
  • Contribute to CNC machining workflows, including programming, setup, and optimization of multi-axis operations for post-processing of printed parts

Basic Qualifications:
  • Currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
  • Hands on manufacturing or build experience from internships or engineering clubs such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, or similar
  • Experience working with hand tools, machinery, or complex hardware assembly

Nice to Have:
  • Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering
  • Experience with CNC machining, including 3 or 5-axis programming and/or setup
  • Experience with metal additive manufacturing or precision post-processing
  • Exposure to fixturing, DFM, or process validation
  • Experience scaling early-stage R&D into production
  • Familiarity with MRP/ERP tools and lightweight production tracking systems
  • Familiarity with manufacturing process development in a fast-paced hardware environment
  • Ability to translate high-level engineering goals into practical factory processes
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)
  • Strong communicator who collaborates across disciplines and proactively seeks support when needed
  • Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
  • Strong work ethic with a refuse-to-fail mindset
  • Demonstrated indicators of excellence and/or achieving success against adversity (i.e. top academic performance, leadership in engineering clubs, first-generation college student, or other examples of resilience and achievement)

Location:
  • We are located in Hawthorne, CA in a 35,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility featuring large open spaces for team collaboration, R&D, and production, as well as easy access to the 405, 105, and 110 freeways. Our facility is in the heart of Los Angeles' vibrant emerging tech ecosystem alongside many other high growth startups and enterprises.

What We Offer:
  • We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions
  • We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling a world-changing technology
  • Compensation and Benefits
    • The compensation for this role is $30/hour
    • Relocation assistance
    • Free daily catered lunch and dinner, and fully stocked kitchenette
    • Casual dress, flexible work hours, and regular catered team building events
  • Freeform is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values diversity; employment with Freeform is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.
