Mechanical Engineer Internship (Summer 27)
On-siteAndover, Massachusetts, United States
Job Summary
Design and iterate fast on mechanical problems across FAB1 projects, moving from concept to CAD to working prototypes for fixtures, workstations, and tooling. Build what you design by fabricating and assembling your own prototypes using mills, lathes, laser cutters, welders, and 3D printers. Rotate across multiple active workstreams to contribute wherever the team needs hands and ideas, validating designs on the shop floor and troubleshooting failures to reach production-ready results. Produce clear CAD models and technical drawings that teammates or vendors can build from, gaining exposure to how mechanical design connects to robotics and factory operations.
Required Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- junior or senior standing
- Solid CAD skills (Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar)
- ability to go from a rough idea to a modeled part quickly
- Comfortable and safe operating shop tools and equipment — mills, lathes, laser cutters, welding, 3D printing, hand and power tools
- A fast learner who can pick up new tools, processes, and project context with minimal ramp-up
- Bias toward action: you'd rather build a rough prototype and learn from it than perfect a design on paper
- Strong communicator who works well within a team and can take direction from multiple engineers across rotating projects
- Available for a full-time, semester-length co-op in Billerica, MA this fall
Desired Qualifications
- Prior shop, machine design, or robotics club/competition experience (FSAE, FRC, Baja SAE, etc.)
- Experience with sheet metal, weldments, or basic structural design
- Exposure to manufacturing, construction, or factory automation environments
- Familiarity with GD&T fundamentals
