Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer Intern

About the Role

This internship offers a unique opportunity to contribute to real-world design projects. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, developing essential skills in CAD software (SolidWorks) while assisting with the design and development of mechanical systems and machinery. You will also be working closely with the production team to see your changes take place in person. Most of the work you are updating and creating will be assembly instructions for the production team.
