Your Responsibilities

The 2018 JDPS Engineering Development Program gives recent engineering graduates three work experiences over a two year period. The eight-month rotations include possible assignments in engine design, engine development, engine manufacturing, quality engineering, advanced research and development, or product support—all possible in Waterloo, Iowa because many of the engine business functional disciplines are headquartered at the Engine Works manufacturing and Product Engineering facilities. Employees are based in Waterloo with opportunities to interact in teams with employees at our other John Deere engine facilities in Saran, France; Torreon, Mexico; Pune, India; Tianjin, China; and Rosario, Argentina.

• Minimum required cumulative GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale.
• Willing to travel to any John Deere location in the U.S.
• Willing to relocate to Waterloo, Iowa
• Work Statement: US Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Previous intern or coop experience in product design or development (lab testing)
• Completed internal combustion and thermodynamics classes in college
• Working knowledge of 3-D modeling (such as ProE) and a data analysis software (such as MatLab)
