2018 Internship Overview

 During college, you develop knowledge and skills that prepare you for success in the real world. Still, the best preparation is experience working in a professional environment. During an internship, you can apply what you’re learning in school, develop professional habits, and contribute to a thriving company. Along with the insights you develop in an internship, you get real working experience on your resume that gives you a boost as you officially enter the workforce.

Gore offers a variety of opportunities for student interns to get valuable experience working for a global enterprise. Internships are a great way for you to evaluate us — and vice versa — to see if there’s a potential match for long-term employment. As a Gore intern, you’ll own a project calling on the skills you’ve developed in your field of study; you’ll work to wrap up the project before your internship ends.

During your time at Gore, you’ll be encouraged to network and build relationships across functions and plants, as well as with other interns. We want to help you grow and develop during your time at Gore; we will provide organized social and networking opportunities to help you get connected to other interns and Gore Associates.

Who We’re Looking For

Gore interns are students who have completed at least their sophomore year of college and who will be returning to school after their summer internship is complete.

Visas

Gore will not consider candidates for internship roles who currently are on a Visa or require Visa sponsorship, as our internship program is designed to identify candidates for employment who are eligible to work within the U.S. on a continuing basis after their graduation.

Majors

Because Gore is a technology-oriented manufacturer, our internships are nearly all focused on engineering and manufacturing operations.

• Engineering internships: Gore is primarily seeking students majoring in areas such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, bioengineering/biomedical engineering and electrical engineering.

• Automation controls internships: Occasionally we seek students majoring in electrical engineering, electro-mechanical engineering and electrical engineering technology. As an automation controls intern, you may get to be part of the design, installation and/or support of some of the most unique machines and processes in the industry. Typical projects may include hardware selection, instrumentation, machine programming (PLC), operator interface programming (HMI), drives programming, motion control, project management, specification development, schematic development, machine documentation, data acquisition, facilities infrastructure and electrical distribution.
  • The design and control of mechanical processing equipment is a key capability at Gore due to the proprietary nature of our products. As a design engineering intern, you will be involved in the design and improvement of new and existing production equipment. You will team with other engineers to conceptualize, design and build equipment to manufacture a broad range of products. You may be involved in specification and purchasing of sub-assemblies, production of shop-ready prints utilizing 2- and 3-D CAD systems, and overall project coordination.
