A LITTLE CONTEXT
Physical products first. Digital-only UX/UI roles are excluded. Employer pages, job boards, and public LinkedIn posts inform this list; private or unindexed posts can be missed.
This site collects aggregate usage statistics to help improve the listings. Browser-session identifiers estimate visits, and approximate city, region, and country information helps us understand where visitors are. Analytics do not store names, emails, IP addresses, or device GPS locations.
Maintained by Carly Hagins, Assistant Professor of Product Design at the University of Kentucky.
Full research notes
Scope. US-focused industrial and physical product design internships/co-ops, following the earlier list. Includes furniture, toys, packaging, accessories, hardware, appliances and transportation. Selected international LinkedIn post leads are separate.
Coverage. Broad public-web search, not a complete census. Private/unindexed LinkedIn posts, images and comments can be missed. No signed-in LinkedIn feed was searched.
Employer page reviewed. Role text or rolling application call was retrieved from an employer careers site. This does not mean an application was submitted or every application form was tested.
Employer listing indexed. Search results retrieved employer-hosted role text, but live extraction was blank or limited. Recheck availability at the application link.
Board page reviewed / indexed. Evidence comes from a specific job-board posting. Indexed means search text only. These are leads, not employer-confirmed vacancies.
Employer index reviewed. Employer explicitly lists the role on its careers index, but individual job-page retrieval was unavailable. Steelcase is transitioning recruiting platforms.
Dates. Refreshed October 11, 2026 (America/New_York). Checked means a retrieval or search was attempted on that date; evidence/status states the result. Crawl dates are not posting dates.
Pay. Source units are preserved. Not captured does not mean unpaid. Formlabs remains $1,350–1,675/week. Shure range is program-wide. Newly captured: P&G $29–50/hr; Plexus $23–27/hr; Henkel summer/fall $22–27/hr; Williams-Sonoma/Rejuvenation $22–26/hr.
Deadlines. PING: Oct 16. Priority Designs university board expiry: Oct 23 (not employer-confirmed). URBN: Oct 30 at 5 PM EST as stated; apply early. Textron board: Oct 31. Stanley Black & Decker: Nov 30. Milwaukee Tool fills most intern seats by end of October on a rolling basis.
Deduplication. One row per distinct role/location or term. GM and Stanley Black & Decker each use one row for their multi-location requisition. Stryker roles have different requisition IDs.
LinkedIn. Existing posts were revisited and separate searches used internship, hiring, portfolio and 2026/2027 terms. PING summer 2027 update remains visible. Newly found US posts chiefly advertise past terms. No newly verified US post-only vacancy was found.
Earlier workbook. All 42 main listings and 10 follow-up leads from October 4 were rechecked. This refresh adds 9 main-list roles and moves 3 unavailable employer links to follow-up. New to the list does not necessarily mean newly posted.
Corrections. BMW, Disney Licensed Toys, and Disney Marvel/Lucasfilm: employer URLs unavailable; not confirmed closed. Disney Accessories is retrievable via its Spanish-locale page. Honda spring remains closed. Enerpac reopening unconfirmed. SharkNinja copy now says October–December 2026.
