This internship helps build technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and industry connections, preparing participants for future careers in textile engineering.
As a Textile Engineering Intern, you may assist with product testing, quality assurance, research on new materials or fabrics, and process improvement initiatives. Daily tasks can range from analyzing material samples in a lab to collaborating with engineers and designers on developing textile products. Many interns also participate in cross-functional meetings and support documentation or reporting tasks. This hands-on experience provides valuable exposure to multiple aspects of textile manufacturing and can help you build foundational skills for a future career in the industry.
To thrive as a Textile Engineering Intern, you need a foundation in textile science, materials engineering, and analytical problem-solving, often supported by enrollment in or completion of a relevant engineering program.

Fall Associate, Strategy & Market Intelligence
Office of the COO, Americas · Naperville, IL · September–December 2026 · 20 hrs/week, flexible around your class schedule · $25-30/hour
Why Haber
Process industries such as chemicals, pulp and paper, textiles, food and beverage, oil and gas, and heavy industry more broadly run some of the most resource-intensive operations on the planet, yet most still make their day-to-day calls on manual sampling, spreadsheets, and operator intuition. Haber builds the AI and IoT systems that replace that guesswork with real-time decisions, cutting operating costs while shrinking their environmental footprint at the same time.
Now we're building the Americas business, out of Naperville, IL. The accounts, the competitive map, the positioning: all of it is still being written, and most of it by a small team in the Office of the COO. That's where this role sits.
The Role
We're hiring our first dedicated market intelligence hire for the Americas. You'll own how we see the US market: who the competitors are and where our strengths lie, which accounts are worth going after and why, and what the team should walk into a customer meeting knowing. The output goes straight to the Americas commercial team and, regularly, to leadership.
This is a schedule built around your coursework, not a shadowing internship. You'll frame the question, do the work, and present the answer yourself. If you're the kind of person who reads up on where a market is moving and can't help reframing what it means from Haber's angle, who gets impatient with analysis that doesn't lead to a decision, and who wants to see your recommendation turn into a real action item, then this one's for you.
What You'll Do
Own the competitive picture. Track competitor product moves, pricing and packaging shifts, and win/loss signals from the field, and pull them into a single system of record.
Turn research into a point of view. Not "here's what we found," but "here's what it means and here's what we should do about it.
Arm the team before it walks into the room. Build account intelligence ahead of commercial conversations and turn it into a tight pre-meeting brief the team actually uses.
Keep the company sharp. A weekly market digest and a monthly readout to Americas leadership that connect what's moving in the market to what we should do next.
Leave behind something reusable. A clean, repeatable research structure the team can keep running after your twelve weeks are up.
Go where the team needs you. Early-stage GTM work rarely stays in neat lanes; you'll pick up ad hoc projects as priorities shift.
