We have an exciting opening for a Pneumatic Rotatory Actuator Engineering Co-op - Spring 2027 in Wadsworth, OH.

Your main responsibilities

Parker rotary actuators convert fluid (pneumatic or hydraulic) power into rotary motion for a wide variety of industrial applications. A rack and pinion rotary actuator consists of a housing with bearings, a rack and pinion rotary group and cylinder parts. The cylinder pistons drive a rack across the pinion gear at a certain pressure. This action turns the shaft, generating rotary motion at a certain torque and rotational velocity. This motion is transferred through the shaft to the machinery for applications such as upending, turning, roll-over, tilting, indexing, transferring, mixing, valve operating, tensioning and clamping.

A rotation in product engineering will expose the individual to the aspects of daily engineering tasks. This includes the use of computer aided drawing (CAD) to complete detailed machining prints, customer approval drawings and fixture design. The co-op will also be exposed to cross-department interactions, performance and life testing, and various meetings.

Job Overview:

• Modify/Create layout, part detail and assembly drawings to design specifications using AutoDesk Inventor
• Perform basic engineering calculations
• Create model index charts and bill of material phantom groups used in building various product options
• Assist in set up and monitoring of laboratory tests on product prototypes and life cycle tests.
• Modify engineering documents to reflect changes for improvement
• Assist with product failure analysis and write laboratory report(s) to document findings
• Additional tasks as assigned

We are looking for a talent with
