EOSYS NEXT Co-op Program
Turn Your Engineering Knowledge Into Real-World Impact
You’ve learned the theory. Here, you apply it to industrial automation and digital transformation challenges in companies from food manufacturing to energy production. Join the EOSYS NEXT Co-op Program and build the skills, connections, and experience you need to stand out—and get valuable, paid experience from day one.
Career Growth
We Turn Top Students Into World-Class Engineers
As a NEXT Engineer, you’ll discover how your engineering knowledge applies to the systems that control and automate manufacturing. You’ll work on real challenges for actual manufacturing companies, on live projects, alongside seasoned engineers.
Real Project Exposure
Be a member of a team that solves actual business problems. Your engineering analysis and recommendations will drive real outcomes, and you won’t be stuck doing busy work or making coffee runs.
Clear Path to Full-Time
Unlike short-term internships, our 6-12 month structured program gives you time to develop skills and make meaningful contributions. Our goal is to hire every NEXT Engineer that comes through our program.
Competitive Pay & Perks
We invest in your success with competitive compensation and housing support, so you can focus on building your future.
Hands-On
Real Projects - Real World Experience
You’re asking yourself, “When do I get to see if this classroom stuff actually works in the real world?”
In the EOSYS NEXT Co‑op program, you’ll find out.
You’ve already mastered the theory. You can solve problems in MATLAB, design systems in CAD, and optimize processes on paper. Now it’s time to see what happens when those skills meet real production challenges and your decisions shape how things get made.
Manufacturing is being transformed by AI and data. Here, you won’t just watch the change—you’ll help build it.
What You May Not Have Been Told In School
There’s an entire engineering discipline that makes everything you use possible, and it’s hiding in plain sight. It’s called controls engineering, and it’s the bridge between the engineering you’ve learned and the products that fill your world. There’s also a revolutionary field that uses code, data, and AI to build the smart factories of the future. We call that Digital Transformation.
Co-op vs Internship
Context Becomes Clarity
Unlike a short-term internship, a co-op program is a structured, longer-term work experience that is integrated into your academic curriculum. You’ll alternate between academic semesters and full-time work, giving you more time to develop skills and make meaningful contributions. Yes, you take time off school, but here’s why that’s beneficial: You’ll return to your studies in a real-world context that makes your remaining coursework more meaningful and relevant. When you go back to school, you’ll understand what you need to learn.
