Mechanical Engineer - Summer Intern

We’re hiring mechanical engineering interns excited about product development. In this role engineers will gain experience with mechanical design and consulting. Engineers will work on product development teams to bring new products and technologies to market. They will gain experience developing designs, building and testing prototypes, and using the knowledge gained through testing to refine and improve on previous designs. Fikst’s projects are all hands-on and our prototyping shop includes two CNC’s, six 3D-printers, three laser cutters and a variety of other scientific and engineering equipment. Engineers will also gain experience meeting with and presenting to clients. This role is intended to last at least three months and ideally could last up to six months. Timing and start dates will be discussed during the interview process.
