Mechanical Engineering Intern - CAD, Sheet Metal & Product Development

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineering Intern interested in CAD design, sheet-metal design, 3D modelling, fabrication, and product development. The role involves working on real-world mechanical projects from CAD modelling and drawings to fabrication, assembly, testing, and product improvement.

Important

This is not a purely desk-based CAD internship. The candidate should be comfortable with practical mechanical work including fabrication, assembly, measurements, workshop/site visits, vendor coordination, and product testing. Candidates with strong practical projects and demonstrable CAD skills will be given preference.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create 2D drawings, 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings.
• Design sheet-metal components, enclosures, brackets, panels, frames, and mounting structures.
• Work on flat patterns, bend calculations, bend allowance/K-factor, and DFM.
• Convert sketches and physical measurements into CAD models.
• Assist with prototyping, fabrication, assembly, testing, and design modifications.
• Coordinate with fabrication teams and vendors for manufacturability.
• Participate in workshop/site visits, measurements, installation, testing, and troubleshooting when required.
• Maintain drawings, BOMs, revisions, and design documentation.

Required Skills

• AutoCAD and Fusion 360
• 2D drafting and technical drawings
• 3D part and assembly modelling
• Basic surface modelling
• Sheet-metal design and flat-pattern development
• Basic understanding of laser cutting, CNC cutting, and press-brake operations
• Basic knowledge of DFM and engineering dimensioning
• B.E./B.Tech/Diploma in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• Final-year students and recent graduates can apply.
• Relevant academic, personal, internship, or industrial CAD/mechanical projects preferred.

Added Advantage: SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, Inventor, or Siemens NX.

Eligibility

Preferred Experience

• Projects involving sheet metal, enclosures, product design, machine/component design, structural frames, fabrication, reverse engineering, CNC/laser cutting, 3D printing, or CAD-to-fabrication will be preferred.
• Candidates may be asked to showcase CAD files, drawings, photographs, prototypes, or project reports.
