Mechanical Design & Integration Intern

About the internship

This internship is centered on mechanical design and hands-on product integration for an autonomous battery-swapping solution for electric four-wheelers in India. The company’s flagship swappable battery module is developed in-house with a strong focus on design for disassembly.

What you will work on

• Support the design of mechanical components and systems with attention to performance, durability, and cost efficiency.
• Create precise 3D models and engineering drawings using CAD tools such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
• Apply design-for-machining, design-for-analysis, and design-for-manufacture practices to build practical, robust solutions.
• Work with the team to improve concepts based on feedback, testing, and iteration.
• Assist in prototype development and ensure the product meets both functional and visual expectations.
• Run mechanical checks such as stress, thermal, and vibration analysis to confirm design reliability.
• Help integrate mechanical assemblies with electrical and embedded systems.
• Prepare detailed 2D manufacturing drawings from 3D models, including views, sections, and dimensions.
• Apply tolerancing and GD&T so vendor-made parts fit correctly within the vehicle frame.
• Update and maintain CAD models to resolve interferences and simplify assembly.
• Keep the bill of materials current so parts and hardware are properly tracked and ordered.
• Carry out trial fits on the vehicle to verify clearances, alignment, and installation ease.
• Identify physical clashes, rubbing points, vibration issues, and access constraints between components.
• Select appropriate fasteners, adhesives, and tools for each mounting situation.
• Measure built parts and assemblies with calipers, micrometers, or tapes to compare the actual vehicle with the CAD design.
• Coordinate with fabrication vendors to clarify drawing expectations and manufacturing queries.

Who can apply

This opportunity is open to candidates who can work full-time from the office, can begin between 9 Jul 2026 and 13 Aug 2026, are available for 6 months, and have relevant skills and interest. Mechanical engineering students are eligible, and candidates pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field are preferred.

Additional requirements

• Comfort with CAD tools, especially SolidWorks and AutoCAD, for 3D modelling, assemblies, and technical drafting.
• Understanding of CNC machining and design-for-machining principles.
• Basic knowledge of sheet metal design, including bending, cutting, and manufacturability.
• Exposure to polymer 3D printing methods such as FDM and SLA for prototyping.
• Working knowledge of GD&T for clear engineering communication.
• Exposure to FEA tools such as ANSYS or Altair is an advantage, but not essential.
• Strong attention to detail, disciplined documentation habits, and enthusiasm for hands-on prototyping.

Compensation and duration

The internship offers a monthly stipend of INR 8,000 to 12,000. The duration is 6 months, and the role starts immediately.

Perks

• Certificate
• Letter of recommendation
• Flexible work hours
