AR (Augmented Reality)/Software Engineer Intern/Co-op/Student – Kohler

BASIC FUNCTION

The intern/co-op/student will work on developing an Augmented Reality Interactive Modeling tool that overlays color mapping onto a physical object to indicate dimensional variance between the CAD master and physical model. This tool will enable real-time, precise alterations to the CAD files, and the goal is to improve accuracy, shorten development time, and lower the skill level required for these tasks while also expanding the use of Augmented/Mixed reality in other areas of product development.

The intern would act in a supporting role for research & development of AR (augmented reality), mechanical, and computer engineering functions. Under the engineering manager’s direction, the individual will provide technical support in AR and software programming. The individual will work in a multi-disciplined engineering team that includes software engineers, data scientists, and material scientists.
