Mechanical Engineering Intern (Fall: August - December)
TLDR
Prototype and rapidly test UAS subsystems through hardware prototyping and flight-test iterations.
Rapid Hardware Prototyping: Design and build functional prototypes for UAS subsystems, iterating quickly based on flight test feedback and mission requirements.
Test fixture design: Help conceptualize, design, build, and run test fixtures for prototype components.
FEA: Work with mechanical engineers to define loading and boundary conditions, set up FEA studies, run and validate results.
Documentation: Write technical documentation, prepare fabrication and assembly data for manufacturers.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Electrical engineers, software engineers, and manufacturing
Experience with CAD (Solidworks required)
Solidworks FEA experience, Linear Static, Linear Dynamic, Nonlinear Dynamic, Thermal.
Experience with basic manufacturing/prototyping using 3D printers
Sheet metal design and manufacturing experience (preferred)
Past record of having taken a product from the conceptual to production stage (Preferred)
Cross functional ability to work with multiple teams (Electrical and Software)
