Job Title: Mechanical Engineer Intern - R&DLocation: KondapurType: Internship (Onsite)Duration: 3–6 MonthsPerks & Benefits:Performance-based stipendHands-on exposure to R&D projectsOpportunity to work with cross-functional engineering teamsPotential for full-time opportunity based on performanceRole SummaryThis internship is designed for candidates with a strong grounding in core mechanical engineeringfundamentals who are eager to apply theory to real-world product development. The role provides hands-onexposure across the full R&D lifecycle from concept development to prototyping, testing, and iteration. The internwill support CAD design, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and basic FEA analysis, contributing to the developmentand validation of mechanical systems. The focus is on learning through practical work, applying first-principlesthinking, and developing strong engineering judgment under guidance.Key Responsibilities1. Research, Problem Definition & Concept DevelopmentConduct literature reviews, benchmarking, and competitor analysisAssist in translating problem statements into clear engineering requirements and constraintsContribute to ideation, concept generation, and feasibility evaluationDevelop proof-of-concept models and validate concepts under guidance.2. Engineering Design, CAD & Theoretical AnalysisDevelop 3D models, assemblies, and 2D drawings using SolidWorks or similar toolsCreate BOMs, exploded views, and apply GD&T, fits, and tolerancesPerform first-principles engineering calculations (structural, thermal, fluid) to guide design decisionsApply concepts from Strength of Materials, Engineering Mechanics, Machine Design, andThermo/Fluids, mechanism design, kinematics, and motion analysisInterpret design intent and convert it into manufacturable, functionally sound modelsContinuously refine designs based on calculations, constraints, and feedback3. Multi-Domain System Integration (Mechanical + Electronics)Support integration of mechanical components with electronics (sensors, actuators, embeddedsystems)Understand packaging, mounting, thermal management, and wiring constraintsWork with cross-functional teams to understand system-level design constraints4. Rapid Prototyping & Product DevelopmentPrepare CAD files for 3D printing and other prototyping methodsOperate and maintain 3D printers and workshop toolsSupport the fabrication, assembly, and troubleshooting of prototypesParticipate in iterative product development cycles from concept to functional prototype5. Simulation, Testing & ValidationAssist and perform FEA/CFD simulations (stress, deformation, thermal, flow)Support design and set up experiments for functional and durability testingCollect, analyze, and interpret test dataCorrelate theoretical calculations and simulation results with real-world performance6. Iteration, Failure Analysis & Engineering ImprovementAssist in identifying failure modes and performance gaps in prototypesSupport root cause analysis (RCA) using both analytical and experimental approachesDrive design improvements based on test results, calculations, and system constraintsIterate rapidly to improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability7. Documentation, Reviews & Cross-Functional CollaborationMaintain structured engineering documentation, calculations, and version controlPrepare clear design reports, validation summaries, and technical notesParticipate in design reviews (concept, preliminary, and final) with data-backed inputsCollaborate across mechanical, electronics, and manufacturing teams in an R&D environmentRequired Skills & Qualifications:Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related fieldStrong foundation in core engineering fundamentals (critical requirement):Engineering MechanicsStrength of MaterialsMachine DesignBasic Thermodynamics and Fluid MechanicsGood understanding of FEA fundamentals (stress, deformation, boundary conditions)This internship serves as a direct pathway to a full-time Mechanical Engineer R&D role;candidates who demonstrate strong fundamentals, problem-solving ability, ownership, and consistentperformance may be considered for a full-time offer, subject to evaluation and business requirements.
