• Document defects, perform root cause analysis, and review data to ensure products are meeting internal and external requirements.


• Build “encyclopedia of processing defects” using the measured information.


• Review and improve work instructions and SOPs.


• Process metallurgical samples to evaluate casting quality.

What We’re Looking For

• Current student or recent graduate pursuing a degree in quality engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a related engineering/science discipline.

Why Fabri?

At Fabri, you won’t be limited to observing from the sidelines. You’ll learn by doing, work directly with experienced technical leaders, and can make a tangible impact on a developing manufacturing system.

This is an ideal opportunity for a student interested in metallurgy, materials science, casting, manufacturing, or quality engineering who wants hands‑on experience at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and technology.
