Summer 2027 Internship - Mechanical Engineering

• Support the design of mechanisms and mechanical structures for testing and/or enrichment. You will experience the entire product lifecycle including requirements definition, design, development, qualification, and release to production.
• Support optimization of designs for cost, performance, and manufacturability.
• Contribute to testing hardware through thermal, vibe, shock, durability, etc.
• Perform root-cause analysis on test failures and develop hardware mitigations.
• Work closely with electrical, software, manufacturing, and nuclear engineers to ensure designs are effectively integrated with overall system requirements.

• Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Hands-on experience with mechanical design, prototyping, or analysis of structural or mechanism components
• Familiarity with CAD tools (NX, SolidWorks, or similar) and exposure to FEA or engineering coding languages like Python or MATLAB
• Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.

The hourly pay range for this internship is $30–$40 per hour, depending on the candidate’s current standing in school (i.e. sophomore, senior). Interns will receive a monthly housing stipend, and are eligible for overtime pay.
