Field(s):
Mechanical Engineering
We’re looking for a motivated Mechanical Engineering student who wants hands-on experience designing real industrial products. You will support our Mechanical Engineering team with design tasks, prototyping, and documentation while developing skills that directly translate into a future full-time role.
Help create and modify 3D models and drawings in Creo
Assist with plastic part design, including draft, wall thickness, and manufacturability checks
Support engineers in tooling reviews with suppliers (DFM feedback, minor modifications, basic tolerance understanding)
Contribute to concept sketches, idea generation, and product improvements
Participate in Ingress Protection (IP) design activities, sealing concepts, gasket interfaces, and enclosure layouts
Perform small independent tasks such as updating models, preparing design reports, and gathering technical data
We don’t expect you to be an expert — you will learn with us.
You’re a strong fit if you have:
Required
Currently studying Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, Mechatronics, or similar
Basic 3D CAD experience (Creo, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar)
Ability to sketch ideas clearly
Good problem-solving mindset and willingness to work independently
Nice to have (not required)
Interest in plastic injection molding
Curiosity about tooling (molds, draft angles, gates, tolerances)
Interest in IP-rated product design (IP65/67 enclosures, sealing concepts)
Flexible schedule (10–20 hours/week) to fit around your studies
Real product development experience in a global engineering team
Mentorship from senior mechanical and RF engineers
Opportunity to transition into internship or full-time role after graduation
Modern tools and professional engineering environment (Creo, Ansys, PLM systems)
