Why This Role Matters

The Engineering Intern helps support the development and improvement of products that solve real challenges for farmers. By contributing to design, testing, documentation, and engineering projects, this position gains meaningful hands‑on experience while helping Red E develop practical solutions that support our larger mission of helping farmers succeed.

Who We Are

Red E was founded in 2012 with a simple mission: help farmers get more life, performance, and reliability out of the equipment they already own.

What started as a small engineering firm quickly evolved into something bigger: a company dedicated to designing high‑performance aftermarket solutions for air seeders, planters, and other agricultural equipment.

Today, Red E serves farmers across North America and around the world with engineering, parts, and full‑service rebuild solutions designed to help them keep their equipment running better than new.

Built by Engineers. Driven by Farmers.

How We're Different

Plain and simple, it's our culture and our drive for excellence. We're a team that takes pride in doing good work, solving problems, supporting one another, and continually finding ways to get better.

We focus on four key areas that help shape the kind of workplace we want to build:

• Leadership: Lead by example through servant leadership. Create an environment where people can take ownership of their work and be proud of what they accomplish.
• Purpose: Understand what we do and why it matters. Our work supports farmers, and we continually look for better products, services, and solutions that make a meaningful difference.
• Opportunity: Look for ways to improve, solve problems, learn, and pursue new products and services that create value for our customers and our team.
• Growth: Keep moving forward. We believe growth comes from challenging ourselves, improving how we work, and continuing to build something better.
