About the Role
Exantro is building autonomous drone infrastructure. You will join our Bengaluru hardware team of mechanical and robotics engineers, working closely with our Chief Hardware Officer (CHO). You will take full ownership of mechanisms and enclosures, make design calls with incomplete information, and see your designs survive outdoor field conditions.
What You Will Work On
- CAD design and iteration of mechanical parts and assemblies for the station's mechanisms (alignment, latching, actuation, drone-docking interfaces)
- Building, assembling, and testing physical prototypes in our workshop
- Design support for outdoor-rated enclosures, including sealing, gaskets, and cable glands for IP54/65/67
- Preparing part and assembly drawings for vendor manufacturing
- Supporting design for manufacturing (DFM) and coordinating with CNC, sheet metal, and 3D printing vendors
- Rapid prototyping with FDM 3D printing and simple workshop tools
- Debugging failures on the bench and in field trials, and feeding results back into the design
By the end of the internship, you will have worked extensively on at least one sub-assembly while assisting with other subsystems.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Currently pursuing, or recently completed, a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
- Hands-on experience designing and building real hardware (university competition team or equivalent personal/academic projects)
- Working knowledge of a CAD tool (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or equivalent)
- Solid fundamentals: free-body diagrams, basic stress and strength checks, and choosing materials and fasteners
- Comfortable in a workshop: building, testing, fixing, and iterating on physical hardware
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with mechanisms (linkages, gears, lead screws, latches)
- Exposure to sealing, gaskets, or outdoor-rated designs
- Basic FEA, Design simulation testing
- Experience with complex FDM 3D printing, or familiarity with sheet metal and CNC processes
- A genuine interest in startups and robotics
