Paid Intern Cad Designer

About the Role

Synthera Robotics Pvt. Ltd. is looking for a motivated Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our team in developing innovative prosthetic arms, assistive devices, and robotic systems. This role offers hands-on experience in mechanical design, CAD modelling, assembly, 3D printing, prototyping, and manufacturing. The selected candidate will work closely with the engineering team to transform design concepts into functional hardware, improve existing prototypes, and contribute to the development of affordable, reliable, and accessible assistive technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• CAD Design and Modelling: Create, modify, and optimize 3D models and mechanical components using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar CAD software.
• Assembly Design: Develop assemblies, check component fitment, and identify mechanical design issues before manufacturing.
• 3D Printing and Prototyping: Prepare models for FDM 3D printing, assist with print setup, and improve prototypes based on fit, strength, and functionality.
• Manufacturing and Production: Support fabrication, component preparation, assembly, and production-related activities.
• Hardware Integration: Assist in assembling and integrating mechanical components for prosthetic arms and robotic systems.
• Testing and Improvement: Conduct basic functional tests, document observations, troubleshoot mechanical issues, and implement design improvements.
• Technical Documentation: Maintain CAD files, assembly drawings, bills of materials, and prototype testing records.
• Team Collaboration: Work with electronics, embedded systems, and robotics team members to develop integrated hardware solutions.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Production Engineering, or a related field.
• Basic to intermediate knowledge of CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent tools.
• Basic understanding of 3D printing, particularly FDM technology, and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with mechanical assemblies, engineering drawings, dimensions, and component fitment.
• Practical problem-solving skills and willingness to learn through hands-on experimentation.
• Interest in robotics, prosthetics, assistive devices, product development, or hardware engineering.
• Ability to collaborate effectively, communicate clearly, and document technical work.
• Academic projects, personal prototypes, CAD portfolios, or 3D-printing experience are an advantage.
