Mechanical Engineering Intern

Role Overview

We are an additive manufacturing service bureau looking for a Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our team on-site. The Mechanical Engineering Intern will support the design, development, testing, and improvement of 3D printing systems and related mechanical components. This role is ideal for someone who wants hands-on exposure to CAD, prototyping, assembly, and product validation in an additive manufacturing environment. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and technicians, gaining real-world experience across the full product lifecycle—from concept to printed part.

Responsibilities

• Assist in designing and modeling mechanical components and assemblies using CAD software (Fusion 360, or similar)
• Prepare and optimize 3D models for printing (FDM, SLA, SLS, or metal AM processes)
• Support build setup, slicing, and print parameter tuning across various additive technologies
• Help with post-processing tasks including support removal, surface finishing, and part inspection
• Conduct dimensional and functional validation of printed parts against specifications
• Assist in maintaining, calibrating, and troubleshooting 3D printers and related equipment
• Document test results, design iterations, and process improvements
• Collaborate with the engineering team on prototyping and R&D projects

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• Working knowledge of CAD software (Fusion 360, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with 3D printing technologies and additive manufacturing concepts
• Understanding of GD&T, tolerances, and basic manufacturing principles
• Hands-on mindset with strong attention to detail
• Good problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn in a fast-paced environment
• Ability to work on-site full-time for the duration of the internship

Skills

• Fusion 360
• CAD
• GD&T
• Additive Manufacturing
• FDM/SLA/SLS

Benefits

• Direct, hands-on experience in a production additive manufacturing environment
• Mentorship from experienced engineers
• Exposure to the full workflow of a service bureau—from client files to finished parts
• A portfolio of real projects to showcase your skills
