Mechanical Engineering Intern

Our team is hiring mechanical engineering interns to join our team for the summer.

During that timeframe, you will help us:
  • Scale vehicle production to double-digits.
  • Conduct international demonstrations to NATO.
  • Blow up a ship (legally).

Role description:
  • Contribute to mechanical design, integration, and validation efforts, supporting structural layouts, packaging, sealing strategies, and subsystem integration (propulsion, sensing, power).
  • Design and fabricate custom hardware to enable component verification, system integration, and performance evaluation, applying a strong first-principles engineering approach.
  • Execute focused technical investigations to assess new concepts, mechanisms, and materials that improve performance, reliability, and durability.

Desired qualifications:
  • Experience designing and building mechanical or electromechanical systems.
  • Proficient in CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred) with working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and design for manufacturability; capable of producing clear, production-ready documentation.
  • Skilled in structural analysis, material selection, and environmental design considerations including pressure, vibration, and corrosion for marine applications.
  • Comfortable with hands-on prototyping, fabrication, assembly, troubleshooting, and iterative testing in laboratory and field environments.
  • U.S. work authorization and ability to obtain a security clearance.
