About the role

About Microboard

Microboard is a leading electronics manufacturing company specializing in high reliability printed circuit board assembly. We work with customers across a range of industries and pride ourselves on quality, innovation, and developing future engineering talent.

Build Real-World Engineering Experience

This isn't a "watch and learn" internship. At Microboard, engineering interns are hands‑on, fully embedded in our Engineering team, and trusted with real projects that impact production, quality, and customers. You'll work in a fast-paced electronics manufacturing environment alongside experienced engineers and technicians while building skills you can actually use after graduation.

What You'll Work On

  • Manufacturing and engineering improvement projects
  • Process optimization and efficiency initiatives
  • Data collection, analysis, and reporting
  • Production troubleshooting and root cause analysis
  • Documentation, SOPs, and work instructions
  • New product introductions and engineering builds
  • Short-term and long-term projects with real ownership

You won't just assist, you'll contribute, collaborate, and sometimes lead.
