Our headquarters employs around 350 employees. SUMMARY For Summer 2027 - The Bradbury Internship Program for the Controls Engineering Department has opportunities for individuals to work in various engineering and technical disciplines. Interns could work with our Startup Teams, Programming Teams, or Electrical Design Teams. It allows an intern to not only demonstrate their skills, technical aptitude, and understanding of control systems, but also show their personal strengths, desire to succeed, and ability to interact with others in a manufacturing setting - all done with the supervision, guidance and coaching of an experienced Controls Engineer. The time period must consist of no less than two months.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

This setup is included on all networked components including Network managed switches, PLCs, I/O modules, HMIs, motion controls systems, and possibly 3rd party components such as bar code readers and printing systems. Install PLC programming stored on a Bradbury Network drive into a completed machine using software and hardware located on our production floor. Perform basic debug of the PLC logic making sure the Inputs and Outputs on the machine are functional and aligned correctly with the PLC programming (I/O Check). Work with Controls Engineers to make sure no errors exist in the PLC program. Tune motion control systems that could include Linear or Rotary servo motors or Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) controlling induction motors. Perform Installation and setup of Human Machine Interface (HMI) terminals applications. Install the system image and setup communications to the system control components. Debug the interface screens to verify interface with the PLC and other control components. Show programs written in C# in a Microsoft Windows environment.
