Intern - Mechanical Design and Analysis

SINE IIT-Bombay

We’re looking for a mechanical design intern highly skilled in static and dynamic to support our product development team. Internship duration: 6 months. Subject to your performance and interest, we may offer you a permanent role at the end of 6-month internship period.

What you will do:

• Conceptualize, design and analyse all mechanical components for the robot such as– base platform, linkages, mounting components, actuators, hydraulic components etc.
• Work on kinematic, dynamic and material analysis of all above components to optimize weight and improve robustness.
• Work on optimizing all moving components, with an emphasis on improving accuracy, reducing failure and vibrations.
• Optimize parts for cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining design intent.
• Collaborate with engineering and sourcing teams to incorporate DFM/DFA considerations.
• Support design iterations based on testing or manufacturing feedback. 

Who you are:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with up to 1 year of experience working in Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis
• You have a Deep understanding of Kinematics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials and Design of Structures including Vibrations and exposure to FEA 
• Very strong base in mathematical topics – Integral + Differential Calculus, ODE + PDE, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Laplace Transform
• Sound knowledge of design and engineering principles and best practices
• Experience/knowledge of manufacturing methods and DFM
• Experience/knowledge with scientific programming on python/Matlab.(Good to have)
• Experience/knowledge with CAD tools such as AutoCAD/Solidworks/NX etc.
• You are excited about building never-seen-before products from scratch, interacting with users to identify opportunities and derive design inputs.
• You prefer the uncertain, ever changing, at times-chaotic but fast-growing work environment of a startup to a well-structured, predictable corporate work culture.
• You can work unsupervised and set your own pace of work to match the team and business needs
• Good communication skills and ability to work independently while aligning with the larger product vision.

What's in it for you:

Globally, Construction provides a 1.6 Trillion Dollar opportunity, just by making the work more efficient. This is the market we are after. You will be an integral part of the core team of an early stage startup on a mission to change the way we build our world and disrupt one of the oldest and the largest industries. You will be designing products that can change the landscape of construction, become ubiquitous in project sites and be synonymous with construction of the future (Think of JCB and Tower Cranes of today)

We promise you an environment that promotes unhindered innovation and one that can provide exciting opportunities for accelerated growth. You will be working with a stellar engineering team having diverse experience in developing robots for automotive, agriculture and construction industries. You will have immense learning opportunity as you will be working on ‘never-seen-before’ products for an industry that’s ripe for technological disruptions.
