R&D Internship (Engineer)

Work Location:  Pleasanton, CA (Northern California / Bay Area) or Willowbrook, IL

The R&D function works with other members of our organization (e.g. Marketing, Sales, Finance, Legal, Manufacturing, Regulatory) to ensure that our products provide high value to our consumers and are manufactured and marketed safely and efficiently.

We offer an exciting internship that provides our interns the opportunity to be leaders in the development and/or refinement of our products. Interns will actively utilize our state-of-the-art laboratories and pilot plants to work on fast paced, hands-on, and technically stimulating projects. These projects will help our interns develop communication skills, learn how to optimize experiments, collect data, perform statistical analysis, draw conclusions and make recommendations on next steps, all of which are valuable for the consumer products industry and research in any field.

Recent Summer Intern Projects:

• New formulation development and formula scale-up of cleaning products
• Non-wovens (wipes) handling and converting for exploratory projects
• Equipment optimization and new process development for salad dressings and sauces

Our interns also get to enjoy Clorox’s commitment to a work-life balance through social events and the company-wide policy of half-day Fridays throughout the summer. Past events have included an intern scavenger hunt around San Francisco, department picnics, and San Francisco Giants baseball games.
