Forward Deployed Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

What You Will Do

• Analyze supply chain and operations data to uncover patterns, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement, and turn what you find into something a business user can act on.

• Pair with your manager / mentor, following established patterns and standards so your work is reliable and reusable.
• Document your methodology, business logic, and assumptions so your work is transparent and can be picked up after the summer ends.

• Own one scoped summer project end to end and present it to the team and business stakeholders in your final weeks.
