Goodyear is one of the world's largest tire companies, with operations in most regions of the world. Together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, Goodyear develops, markets and sells tires for most applications.

Engineering Internship

The co-op and intern programs at the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company provide students with practical work experience in their chosen field prior to graduation. The programs can help students determine the type of work that best suits them, as well as help to focus their coursework in a specific field. Ultimately, the program helps students in making their career decisions upon graduation. Ideally, many of the program’s co-ops and interns will become Goodyear associates after graduation.

Students studying engineering or science have the opportunity to work in one of many diverse areas, such as:

• RESEARCH - working to develop new products, processes or materials
• TIRE TECHNOLOGY - focusing on product design, development and evaluation
• GLOBAL ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY - supporting and developing manufacturing equipment and processes
• MANUFACTURING - gaining valuable experience while working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

Students studying computer science may work in either business or technical computer areas. The technical computer operations area provides systems and applications to serve research and development areas, as well as hardware and software applications for manufacturing processes. The business information services area provides systems and applications to support the information and e-commerce needs of the business and functional areas.

In the cooperative education program, students alternate between on-campus classroom learning and continued learning and application at Goodyear. If your school does not offer a co-op program, you may want to consider our intern program. Although smaller in scope than the co-op program, the focus remains on providing a quality learning experience for students.
