We offer internships in fields ranging from engineering, business, finance, operations, environmental health science, and technology, allowing you to explore a variety of industries such as automotive, home furnishings, bedding, and industrial products.
About The Program:
The *Doors Internship Program* is an immersive experience designed to build your expertise, grow your network, and give you hands-on experience across different functions. You'll work on real-world tasks and/or projects, receive mentorship from experienced professionals, and be part of a company that enhances people's lives through innovation in comfort-driven design and manufacturing.
About The Role:
The Engineering team develops and delivers innovative technologies that support product performance, reliability, and customer requirements. Within engineering, sensor technologies play a critical role in enabling accurate data collection, system feedback, and product functionality.
This internship supports engineering efforts related to **sensor development and release**, helping ensure new sensor solutions are tested, documented, and ready for successful deployment.
As a **Sensor Intern**, you will support engineering activities tied to the **release of sensor products or sensor‑integrated systems**. This role provides hands‑on experience working with sensors in a real engineering environment, contributing to testing, validation, documentation, and cross‑functional coordination.
This position is ideal for a student interested in sensors, electronics, systems integration, or applied engineering who wants exposure to product release processes from development through launch.
So, what will you be doing as a Sensor Intern?
- **Sensor Release Support** – Assist engineering teams with activities required to support sensor release, including readiness checks, documentation, and coordination.
- **Testing & Validation** – Support sensor testing, data collection, and validation to ensure performance meets specifications.
- **Data Analysis** – Help analyze sensor output data to identify trends, anomalies, or performance issues.
- **Documentation & Specifications** – Assist with creating and updating technical documentation, test reports, and release materials.
- **System Integration Support** – Help support integration of sensors into larger systems, products, or prototypes.
- **Issue Tracking & Troubleshooting** – Support engineers in tracking issues, investigating root causes, and validating corrective actions.
- **Cross‑Functional Collaboration** – Work with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and product teams to support a successful sensor release.
- **Additional duties as assigned.**
To be successful in this role, you'll need:
- Currently pursuing a **Bachelor's degree in Engineering** (Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, Mechatronics, or related field).
- Interest in **sensors, electronics, or system measurement technologies**.
- Basic understanding of engineering principles, testing, or data analysis.
- Strong attention to detail and problem‑solving skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a technical, hands‑on environment.
Things we consider a plus:
- Coursework or experience with **sensors, instrumentation, or data acquisition systems**.
- Familiarity with test equipment, diagrams, or technical documentation.
- Exposure to product development or release processes.
- Interest in a long‑term engineering or product development career path.
