Electronics Engineering Co-Op/Intern (3 months)

**Mechanical Design \& CAD Development** * Create and refine 3D CAD models and 2D drawings for components, assemblies, and prototypes using Solidworks. * Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) improvements. * Conduct tolerance stack-ups and basic mechanical calculations under engineering guidance. **Rapid Prototyping \& Fabrication Support** * Assist in building physical prototypes using 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, or hand fabrication. * Perform prototype assembly, testing, and iterative refinements. * Document build steps, improvements, and design changes. **Testing, Validation \& Experimentation** * Set up and run CAD Simulations for Stress, and CFD as needed. * Gather, analyze, and visualize data to support engineering decisions. * Identify failure modes and assist in root-cause analysis. **Electronics Integration \& Hardware Support** * Support integration of sensors, microcontrollers, power systems, and basic electronics into mechanical assemblies. * Assist with PCB population, simple wiring, soldering, and harness routing. * Perform debugging of electromechanical systems under mentorship from engineers. **Embedded Programming \& Automation** * Write or modify firmware for microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi). * Develop simple scripts or tools (Python, C/C\+\+, MATLAB, etc.) to automate data collection, test rigs, or simulations. * Support development of prototypes with interactive or intelligent behaviors. **Engineering Research \& Documentation** * Conduct research on materials, mechanisms, manufacturing processes, and emerging technologies. * Draft clear technical documentation, test reports, BOMs, and design notes. * Contribute to engineering review presentations or design rationale summaries. **Cross‑Functional Collaboration** * Collaborate with industrial designers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and software teams. * Participate in brainstorming sessions, concept development, and design critiques. * Communicate design constraints, prototype results, and engineering insights clearly. **Lab \& Workshop Operations** * Maintain organization, safety, and cleanliness of engineering labs and prototyping spaces. * Manage component inventories, prepare test setups, and assist with equipment calibration. * Ensure proper handling of tools, machinery, and electronics equipment.
