The Opportunity

As a Mechanical Engineering Intern, you will contribute to the mechanical design and thermal validation of advanced AI hardware. Working alongside experienced mechanical and thermal engineers, you will gain hands-on experience with 3D computer-aided design (CAD), laboratory setup, test development, prototype evaluation, and engineering documentation. What You’ll Do Contribute to mechanical design activities using Creo or comparable 3D CAD software, including part modeling, assemblies, drawings, and design updates under the guidance of experienced engineers. Work with the thermal engineering team to develop test procedures and help set up laboratory capabilities for evaluating AI hardware. Support thermal and mechanical testing using appropriate laboratory equipment; collect, organize, and analyze test data. Assist the mechanical and thermal design teams with prototype evaluation, troubleshooting, design verification, and documentation of findings. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering partners, communicate progress and issues clearly, and follow applicable laboratory and safety procedures. What You’ll Bring Current enrollment in a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral program in mechanical engineering or a related discipline during the internship. Students in other disciplines with relevant mechanical engineering experience will also be considered. Foundational knowledge of mechanical design, heat transfer,
