Job Description

HEKA makes the world better for all of us. Our engineers develop cool things: planes, trains, automobiles, radios, rockets... the cooler, the better! Feel the satisfaction of evolving classical engineering disciplines like mechanical, software, electrical, industrial, systems, and additive manufacturing to state-of-the-art product development methodologies. Not cheaper, better, faster but amazing, influential, and disruptive. Drive improvements and products to reality to improve humankind. Our teams are hands-on, collaborative, and thought-provoking. We combine scientific methods of discovery and evolutionary engineering principles. This internship will directly support the mechanical engineering effort for both new product development activities as well as for existing products and projects. This internship is an unpaid-to-paid opportunity. Relocation and lodging expenses will not be provided. All interns are subject to a 3-week probationary period. 

What you’ll do: 

• Provide mechanical engineering support for new product development activities as well as support for existing products and projects 
• Translate requirements into a mechanical specification and test plan to be used for development 
• Execute verification testing as defined by the mechanical specification and test plan 
• Conduct design analysis and testing to prove the design will meet customer requirements 
• Use hands-on knowledge and skills to participate in multiple phases of the Design and Development process 
• Work on a wide variety of tasks and systems at HEKA and other duties as assigned   

What you need: 

• Working toward a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field at the college or university level
