Mechanical Engineer - Internship

About the Role

We're hiring a Mechanical Engineering Intern - for freshers and university students who've built things with their own hands, not just studied how to. No prior professional experience is required; what we're looking for instead is real, hands-on project experience: BAJA, FSAE, robotics teams, personal builds, or similar.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanism & Assembly Design

• Support the design and development of mechanisms and mechanical assemblies for our aircraft, from early concept through production intent
• Build and test prototypes yourself — this is a hands-on role, not a design-and-hand-off one

Analysis & Validation

• Assist with load calculations, tolerance stacks, basic FEA, and weight budgets to validate designs before they're cut or molded

Manufacturing Process Exposure

• Work with composites layup, injection molding, additive manufacturing, and CNC machining to learn how to choose the right process for each part

Composites & Structures Track

• If focused on composites/structures: help us model and design composite structures — laminate design, layup optimization, and structural analysis — rather than just building to a fixed layup

Mechanism Design Track

• If focused on mechanism design help select actuation hardware — servos, stepper motors, and similar — and write short scripts to drive and test them

Qualifications

Must-Have

• Currently pursuing, or recently completed, a degree in mechanical engineering or a related field
• Real hands-on project experience (BAJA, FSAE, robotics, or similar build teams) that demonstrates genuine mechanism design or composites/structures work, not just coursework
• Working familiarity with 2D and 3D CAD
• Basic understanding of load calculations, tolerance analysis, and weight budgeting
• Strength in at least one of the following:
  • Detailed mechanism design (including actuation hardware selection and basic scripting to drive and test it)
  • Composites and structures (modeling and analysis, not just layup execution)
• Strong attention to detail and a willingness to get hands-on with hardware
• Clear communicator, comfortable working with both internal teams and external vendors
• Willingness to go the extra mile when a project needs it
