How iQuasar Delivered Top Talent for Manufacturing R&D

The Client 

Our Client is one of the world’s leading materials science and manufacturing innovation companies. The company has made notable advances in the development of state-of-the-art technologies and is resolutely engaged in critical issues facing the industry. It solves some of the most important challenges in materials engineering and manufacturing processes. Its commitment to interdisciplinary innovation puts it firmly at the forefront of future manufacturing.

The Challenges/Opportunities 

To support advanced manufacturing research and development, the Client required an intern to assist in machining and machine operations for innovative manufacturing technology. This presented several opportunities and challenges:

1. Specialized Skills Requirement: Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and manual machining experience is required to narrow the candidate pool and offer valuable hands-on development in advanced manufacturing.

2. Academic Balance: Candidates had to be enrolled in relevant studies, which limited flexibility but provided valuable industry-specific experience.

3. Onsite Role: Based in Blacksburg, VA, this limited candidates to locals or those willing to relocate, while offering team-based, innovative R&D work.

4. Precision Work: The role required knowledge of dimensional tolerances, presenting an opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment and develop problem-solving skills.

5. Innovation Contribution: Interns were expected to directly contribute to the development of energy-efficient manufacturing technologies, gaining experience in industry innovation.

The iQuasar Solution
