**Job Title**: Manufacturing Engineering Intern
Philips is a global leader in health technology, committed to improving billions of lives worldwide and striving to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation.
Driven by the vision of a better tomorrow.
Philips Costa Rica has an exciting opportunity to join our Manufacturing Engineering Group within Image Guided Therapy Devices (IGT-D) as a **Manufacturing Engineering Intern.
**
The Manufacturing Engineering team is a dynamic group of individuals with diverse strengths working together to continuously deliver solutions to meet the needs of our production customers.
Successful engineers on our team are intensely curious, able to dig deep for root cause, analyze objectively, draw logical conclusions, follow through quickly to deliver solutions and communicate well.
We seek passionate people with a positive mental attitude who can interact with ease within and outside our team to develop and deliver win-win solutions.
Our daily work includes both sustaining and project work; we strive to complete the types of projects that remove the need for sustaining work - improving safety, quality, output, reducing costs and eliminating scrap.
Frequently we must dig deep into problems to fully understand root cause and implement solutions that will prevent reoccurrence.
The Manufacturing Engineer Intern will be expected to organize investigations, pursue a logical course of inquiry, be able to collect and analyze data and see patterns/trends, design controlled experiments and analyze the results of those experiments to make rational conclusions about courses of action.
Daily sustaining work includes troubleshooting and developing solutions for various processes that vary from very simple processes, to difficult manual operations, to automated machinery with HMI interfaces, all working to produce devices with a diameter not much larger than a few hairs, but more than a meter long.
Some examples of processes include overmolding machinery, laser ablation, simple mechanical machines, temperature controllers, PLC's, HMI's, motion controllers, packaging and sealing pouches and trays, cleaning equipment such as ultrasonic baths, and complex custom testing equipment integrated with software, and more.
Our team uses the Agile Scrum methodology to set the course of our biweekly work.
Together with our production customers, we prioritize the highest value solutions from our storehouse of improvement ideas and then plan our work in 2-week sprints and work together to achieve what we commit to.
This methodology is ideal for high output, energetic, positive contributors who like to feel part of a winning team delivering just what the customer wants.
We care deeply about our customers, both internal and external, and strive to continuously improve our products and processes.
We are eager to find teammates who are excited by this atmosphere and the opportunity to make a big difference in the lives of patients.
The results of your efforts in technical and process innovation will help manufacture disposable medical devices that save lives and limbs!

**How we work at Philips**
Our newly-adopted hybrid work concept fuses flexibility with collaboration to deliver great outcomes for our people and our customers.
We are embracing an approach wherein we spend more time together than apart - which for full-time employees translates to an average of at least 3 days working from the office and up to 2 days from home - for our hybrid roles.
Hybrid work flexibility means people can meet the changing demands of work and home in the most balanced, productive, and healthy way.
Our hybrid working model is defined in 3 ways:
- We believe in the importance of impactful collaboration:_ There's a certain energy when everyone's in the same room that can heighten idea generation and creative friction needed for problem-solving.
- We embrace flexibility:_ Choosing where, when and how to work can vary according to task and team schedules.
Flexibility isn't office or online, it means choosing the space that works best for you, your teams and our customers on a case-by-case basis.
- We want to be at our best:_ The way we work and our workspaces are designed to support our well-being, offer career advancement opportunities, and enable us to be at our best.
