• Intend to return to the program after the summer internship.
• Strong proficiency in 3D parametric CAD modeling (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or Onshape).
• Foundational understanding of DFA / DFM principles, basic mechanical mechanisms, and manufacturing tolerances.
• Hands-on prototyping experience (e.g., 3D printing, machine shop tools, electro-mechanical assembly, or robotics clubs/projects).
• Project experience with at least one relevant programming or scripting language (Python, C++).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Benefits

• Paid internship.

Before you apply

• Must be a current student enrolled in a degree program.
