We are looking for a Mechanical Engineering Intern with strong engineering fundamentals and an interest in spacecraft design and analysis.
The intern will support mechanical engineering activities related to structures, thermal engineering, and structural dynamics for spacecraft and payload systems.
The role is suitable for someone who understands the basics well, can perform engineering calculations, and is willing to learn simulation tools and spacecraft-specific design practices.
Responsibilities
- Support mechanical design and analysis of spacecraft structures and payloads.
- Perform basic structural calculations for:
- Stress
- Deflection
- Loads
- Factors of safety
- Support finite-element modelling and structural simulations.
- Assist with thermal analysis of spacecraft components and assemblies.
- Understand and work with:
- Conduction
- Radiation
- Thermal expansion
- Temperature gradients
- Support thermo-structural and thermo-elastic analysis.
- Assist with structural dynamics activities such as:
- Modal analysis
- Natural frequency estimation
- Vibration analysis
- Launch load assessment
- Work with materials commonly used in spacecraft, including:
- Aluminium
- Titanium
- CFRP
- Honeycomb sandwich structures
- Support evaluation of joints, interfaces, bolts, adhesives, and mounting concepts.
- Perform hand calculations to verify simulation results.
- Assist in CAD preparation and simplification for analysis.
- Review simulation results and identify whether the results are physically reasonable.
- Prepare simple engineering reports and documentation.
Requirements
Good understanding of core Mechanical Engineering subjects:
- Engineering Mechanics
- Strength of Materials
- Machine Design
- Heat Transfer
- Thermodynamics
- Structural Analysis
- Mechanical Vibrations
- Basic Dynamics
- Material Science
Basic understanding of:
- Finite Element Analysis
- Thermal Analysis
- Structural Dynamics
- CAD modelling
Preferred Skills
Exposure to any of the following is an advantage:
- Simcenter 3D
- ANSYS
- SolidWorks
- NX
- MATLAB
- Python
- Excel-based engineering calculations
What We Are Looking For
- Has strong mechanical engineering fundamentals.
- Can understand the physics behind a problem instead of only using software.
- Can perform basic hand calculations before relying on simulation.
- Is comfortable working across structures, thermal, and dynamics.
- Is willing to learn spacecraft engineering and simulation tools.
- Can work with incomplete or early-stage CAD and progressively improve the analysis.
- Can interpret results and explain what they mean from an engineering point of view.
- Is curious, practical, and willing to solve different kinds of mechanical engineering problems.
Educational Background
B.E. / B.Tech students or recent graduates in:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Aerospace Engineering
- Aeronautical Engineering
Students with academic projects involving FEA, structural analysis, thermal analysis, vibrations, composites, or spacecraft systems will be preferred.
Location: Banglorenorth, Karnataka, India
