Mechanical Intern

Role & responsibilities

• Perform hands-on teardown and systematic disassembly of automotive components, primarily two-wheeler components such as headlamp assemblies, instrument clusters, wire harnesses, mufflers and related sub-assemblies.
• Follow a structured teardown methodology and document the complete assembly structure, part sequence, joining methods, fasteners and interfaces.
• Identify and document individual components, including part description, function, material, dimensions, quantity and manufacturing process wherever possible.
• Carry out physical measurements and dimensional checks using Vernier calipers, micrometers and other basic measuring instruments.
• Prepare detailed Bill of Materials (BOMs) and maintain accurate component-level teardown data in Excel.
• Capture and organise photographs of components and teardown stages and prepare technical teardown reports.
• Support automotive component benchmarking and comparative analysis across different models/OEMs.
• Identify likely manufacturing processes, materials and assembly methods used for individual components.
• Support cost estimation and cost-driver analysis based on material, manufacturing process, component complexity and assembly requirements.
• Prepare basic sketches and, where required, develop 2D/3D CAD models of components based on physical measurements.
• Assist the engineering team in identifying opportunities for design optimisation, part consolidation, material optimisation, manufacturing improvement and cost reduction.
• Maintain accurate and well-structured records of measurements, BOMs, photographs, observations and analysis.

Preferred candidate profile

• Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Production Engineering, Mechatronics or a related discipline.
• Fresh graduates and final-year students with a strong interest in automotive engineering are encouraged to apply.
• Strong interest in automotive products, component design, manufacturing and hands-on engineering activities.
• Basic understanding of engineering materials, manufacturing processes, mechanical components and assembly methods.
• Comfortable working with physical components, hand tools and measurement instruments in a workshop or engineering environment.
• Ability to understand engineering drawings, dimensions and tolerances; knowledge of GD&T will be an added advantage.
