Automating Engineering Co-Op
You can have a co-op. Or you can make a difference. Or you can work as an Automation Engineering CoOp at MillerKnoll and do both.
About this Opportunity
As an Automation Engineering Co-op, you will work alongside Automation Engineers and Project leaders
implementing automation systems to improve safety and ergonomic concerns, improve quality, increase
equipment reliability, and reduce cost in our West Michigan facilities. Co-Ops at MillerKnoll participate in
three work rotations (May 2025 - August 2025, January 2026 - April 2026, and September 2026 -

* You will gain experience in automation related project deployments in robotics, automated guide
vehicles, custom designed automation systems or purchased installations. Collaboratively you

rotations. Ultimately you will lead your own project or portions of projects to gain the experience
necessary for you to flourish in your next career role!
