Mechanical Design Engineer Intern

The role

You will design parts and sub-assemblies from concept through high volume production. You will build prototypes, run component testing, and create production-ready 2D drawings.

What you will do

• Design parts and sub-assemblies within a defined architecture
• Build prototypes, break them, and iterate fast
• Run component level testing for performance, durability, and part to part variability
• Help write and execute accelerated test plans
• Create production-ready 2D drawings
• Work with engineers, vendors, and CMs on DFM feedback, tooling reviews, and first article inspection
• Collaborate with EE, firmware, software, and industrial design
• Build test fixtures, run tolerance studies, troubleshoot life tests, tear down returned units, and update drawings

Required qualifications

• Parts or assemblies you personally designed and built through internships, project teams, research, or personal projects
• Ability to explain your design decisions
• Familiarity with high volume manufacturing processes such as injection molding, die casting, stamping, or metal injection molding
• An understanding of tolerances and how individual part dimensions affect an assembly
• Familiarity with engineering drawings and basic GD&T
• SolidWorks proficiency
• Experience using CAD to build real hardware
• A hands-on approach to prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting
• An ability to reason from a failure back to a possible design or manufacturing cause
• Comfort in a fast-paced startup
• Currently pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering or a related technical field, or demonstrating equivalent hands-on experience

Nice to have

• Prior experience with FEA
• Prior experience with PDM/PLM
• Prior experience with production hardware
