Mechanical Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our team in designing a marine robot to clean and inspect ships, even while in transit. This robot must operate in a challenging flow and corrosion environment, requiring rigorous and creative design solutions with high reliability.

Job Responsibilities:

• Design of structures, mechanisms, and fixtures as needed for the robot and its ancillary devices.
• Procuring hardware and designing tooling for the same as needed to realize their designs.
• Own a component, process, or system on our robotic platform from design requirements through to realization & testing.
• Work with a multi-disciplinary team of mechanical and electrical engineers to integrate EE, FW, and GNC requirements with vehicle hardware.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience with hardware design, fabrication, and assembly.
• Experience in mechanical analysis, analytic and Finite Element Method (FEM/FEA).
• Proficiency in Computed Aided Design (CAD) software (e.g. Solidworks, CATIA, Siemens NX).
• Available to complete a 12-week internship in summer 2027.
• US work authorization is a precondition of employment. The company will not consider candidates who require sponsorship for a work-authorized visa, now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in robotic hardware design.
• Experience in non-linear Finite Element Modeling (e.g. ANSYS, ABAQUS).
• Experience in CNC machining and other common manufacturing methods.
• Knowledge of GD&T methods and practices.
• Experience in hardware sourcing and procurement.
• 1+ summer’s work experience in jobs related to mechanical engineering, OR 1+ years of practical experience on a student build team (FSAE Driverless, Rocketry, etc.).
• Pursuing a 4-year degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
