Summer 2027 Internship - Mechanical Engineering (HVAC)

• Assist in the design and analysis of HVAC systems using Revit, AutoCAD, and energy modeling tools.
• Support load calculations, equipment sizing, airflow, psychrometrics, and hydronic design layouts under senior engineer guidance.
• Learn to participate in system modeling and simulation using BIM workflows and performance tools such as IES.
• Observe and help coordinate with architectural, nuclear experts, structural, and electrical teams to ensure design integration and constructability.
• Help in preparing construction documents, specifications, and as-built documentation.
• Contribute to design automation efforts using visual programming (Dynamo, Grasshopper) or coding (Python, C#).
• Communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively to multidisciplinary teams.

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (Junior or Senior standing preferred).
• Completed coursework in HVAC design, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid hydraulics/dynamics.
• Basic familiarity with BIM modeling software, such as Revit and AutoCAD.
