Feedback from Past Interns:
“I greatly enjoyed working on reverse engineering the Bus Bellows as an intern and also being on the team to design VF Doors.” Zach’s philosophy is “Just give it a shot. Ask questions. Try new things. Make mistakes. Learn from them. Fix them. Repeat.” Zach was a summer intern in 2016, hired after graduation as a Design Tech in 2017.
“Over the summer of 2018, I worked closely with the new product development (NPD) group to design a specialty roll-up door to address the increasing automation market.” This was a very challenging design project, but I was still given free rein to use my creativity and knowledge in the design. There was no one standing over my shoulder telling me what to do. Instead, I was given advice and guidance when I needed it. This internship experience provided me with confidence in my design skills as well as the opportunity to work cooperatively with other design engineers. I will be departing Dynatect with skills, knowledge and experiences that I will can apply wherever I end up after I finish school.” – Danny Jacobs, Aug. 2018, NPD Design Engineer Intern. Danny is pursuing his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
“This summer, I built a configurator to automatically generate engineering drawings in Inventor. Of the three internships I’ve had, no company has been more supportive of and committed to their interns than Dynatect. They provided the opportunity to work on challenging projects with supportive professionals who care about my success.” Sam Sellner is studying Mechanical Engineering at UW-Milwaukee.

“During my first summer at Dynatect, as an engineering intern, I had the opportunity to develop a new product for Dynatect.

This company is not hesitant to give their interns responsibilities, but the employees at Dynatect are more than willing to help interns with any difficulties they may face during their projects.” Max Semrow is a Mechanical Engineering Major at UW-Platteville.
“I created a bellows configurator which reduced quote time from days to minutes. I also developed a methodology to standardize costing practices. Working at Dynatect was an effortless transition because everyone is so helpful and open to assist in any way possible. The lessons I learned this summer will benefit me greatly in my future endeavors.” Steven is pursuing Biomedical Engineering/Software Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
