Sascha is entering her third year as a mechanical engineering student at the University of Idaho and is one of Janicki’s production interns for summer 2025. She comes from a long line of engineers and is the 3rd generation in her family to attend the university’s College of Engineering.

Sascha credits her father, an engineering project manager in Idaho, as her biggest engineering role model. On campus, she serves as a student ambassador for the College of Engineering. In that role, she visits K-12 classrooms, promotes STEM education and helps host outreach events for young students.

At Janicki, Sascha works on the production floor, specifically in the mills. She supports technicians by clamping and unclamping parts, assisting with metrology before and after milling, and performing manual measurements on components.

Her favorite part of the internship has been seeing the wide variety of processes and projects taking place at Janicki. Sascha noted that she was surprised by how integrated and dynamic the engineers are with the production floor, speaking on how closely they stay involved with the processes behind the designs they create.

Outside of work and school, Sascha runs her university’s lacrosse club, enjoys working out and plays the cello.

Her advice for future production interns:

“Talk to everyone! Don’t be afraid to go up, introduce yourself and shake hands.”

Her goals after college include working in aerospace, starting a family and continuing to grow in the industry.
