Product Design Engineering Intern

About the Role

As an engineering intern on the AR Product Design Engineering team, you will help design solutions for next-generation consumer augmented reality products. You will explore and refine a range of designs through iterative prototyping and collaboration, developing a thorough understanding of the product design process, manufacturing, and validation.

Internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks long.

Key Responsibilities

• Brainstorming innovative ideas and defining requirements balancing performance, comfort, and aesthetics.
• Design mechanical modules and systems including but not limited to enclosures, thermal solutions, dynamic components, etc.
• Detail 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD software.
• Perform engineering analysis of design functionality including but not limited to free body diagrams, weight analysis, tolerance analysis, and statistical analysis.
• Rapidly prototype designs using 3D printing, CNC, and other fabrication techniques.
• Identify and resolve issues by troubleshooting and iterating on design.
• Validate design intent and functional requirements through data-driven testing and analysis.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers, optical engineers, manufacturing engineers, reliability engineers, industrial engineers, and more to integrate hardware systems.
• Partner with suppliers to ensure design is manufacturable at scale.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Experience using 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA.
• Proficiency in testing & evaluating mechanical designs.
• Knowledge of various rapid prototyping methods (3D printing, CNC, laser cutting).
• Familiarity with mass production manufacturing methods such as injection molding, die casting, sheet metal, and CNC.
• Fundamental knowledge of material properties for plastics and metals.

Qualifications

• Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
• Intent to return to a full-time degree program after completion of the internship.
• Experience with rack mounted computer equipment (Preferred).
• Understanding of mechanism, sheet metal, and plastic part design as well as design for manufacturing, serviceability, and/or assembly (Preferred).
• Familiarity with Tolerance Analysis, Structural Analysis (FEA), or thermal analysis (Preferred).
