About the Role
As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you’ll get hands-on experience designing and standing up the processes that make our products real. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and operators in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, supporting everything from early prototype builds to production-scale deployment. You’ll learn by doing - and what you do will directly impact how we deliver affordable energy at scale.
What You’ll Do
Collaborate with engineers to design and refine processes, fixtures, and equipment for assembling battery and inverter systems.
Participate in hands-on prototyping and pilot builds, helping debug issues and improve manufacturability.
Support factory line layout and workstation design to improve flow, ergonomics, and efficiency.
Help document assembly processes, write work instructions, and support technician training.
Analyze data from prototype and production runs to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for process improvement.
Contribute to design reviews with a focus on manufacturability and scalability.
What You’ll Bring
Current junior or senior in an undergraduate program, or a graduate student, in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
Strong understanding of mechanical or manufacturing engineering fundamentals.
Passion for hands-on problem solving and building processes that scale.
Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or AutoCAD) is a plus.
Exposure to manufacturing processes, automation, or robotics is a plus.
Curious, self-motivated, and eager to tackle hard problems with real-world impact.
