At Durabuilt Windows & Doors, our people drive our success.

We're innovative, we move fast, we own our results, we care about our team and community, and we value bold individual thinking.

If you're looking for a place where your ideas matter and your work has real impact, you'll fit right in.

• The Opportunity Join our Engineering and Automation team as a Computer Engineering or Mechatronics Co-op Student!

This hands-on role puts you at the center of exciting proof-of-concept projects spanning computer vision, PLC integration, motion control, and embedded systems - all within a real-world manufacturing environment.

You'll gain practical experience in industrial automation, robotics, and hardware/software integration that goes far beyond the classroom.

What You'll Do Develop and test software for automation systems, robotic cells, and proof-of-concept applications Build and experiment with computer vision and machine learning models for quality inspection, object recognition, and motion tracking Write and optimize embedded code for microcontrollers and single-board computers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32) Support communication interfaces between motor drivers, PLCs, and robotic controllers Contribute to PLC programming (Siemens, Allen-Bradley) and robotic arm programming (Fanuc, Universal Robots, or similar) Assist with PCB design and assembly for control and sensing prototypes Design and 3D model custom parts for sensors, cameras, and robotic tools Support system integration testing, troubleshooting, and documentation Participate in data acquisition and analysis to evaluate automation performance Drive continuous improvement through creative problem-solving and rapid prototyping What You Bring Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Computer Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field Strong interest in automation, robotics, and intelligent systems Experience with Python, C/C++, or JavaScript for embedded or control applications Familiarity with computer vision frameworks (OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch) is an asset Basic understanding of PLC logic, robot programming, and control systems Hands-on experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar platforms Working knowledge of PCB design tools (KiCad, Altium, etc.) and 3D modeling software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to work independently and collaboratively Excellent communication skills and a proactive approach to learning Working Conditions Primarily office and plant environment, with time on the manufacturing production floor Use of standard office equipment, including laptops and 3D printers Ability to lift/carry 10–75 lbs.

Possible local travel between facility locations High attention to detail and strong multi-tasking ability Why Durabuilt?
