Mechanical Engineer Intern - Year-Round availability
San Francisco office
Please note: The deadline for applying for our summer internship is
Friday, April 17, 2009.
About You:
You must be highly self-motivated with achievements that demonstrate
this. You should have a gleam in your eye, a hunger to learn and help,
and an ability to communicate effectively. You must be currently
enrolled or accepted in a mechanical engineering (or similar) degree
program. Ideally, you have taken basic physics, engineering statics, and
dynamics. 3D CAD modeling experience is also a plus, preferably in
Pro/Engineer or SolidWorks - not a requirement, but this would make you
very effective right from the start.
As our engineering intern, you work closely with our mechanical
engineering, industrial design, and interaction design teams. Interns
may interact directly with clients, contribute to concept, layout and
part development, create prototypes, perform stress analysis, develop
in-house procedures and tools, or study new technologies for future use.
Internships usually last about 3 months, based on your availability, and
can be full or part-time depending on your schedule. We require a
commitment of at least 20 hours per week while working in our San
Francisco studio. You will be responsible for all of your living
arrangements.
To Apply:
If you would like to be considered for this position, please submit HARD
copies in ONE package of the following:
[1] Resume - Let us know what relevant work you've done.
[2] Cover Letter - Let us know you can communicate well in the written
language. Why are you our ideal choice for a future intern?
[3] Unofficial transcripts (both undergraduate and graduate) - We don't
expect straight A's, but you should have done well in basic engineering
courses.
[4] Examples of your work that help us to understand your experience and
capabilities. It can be images of any project in which you were involved
- school or personal. We don't want to see full reports, but we do need
to see that you know how to work through solving a problem and can
present the process and solution clearly.
This includes defining the problem (why is this product important? what
makes it different?), brainstorming, generating concepts (please include
sketches; they don't need to be pretty, they just need to be clear),
making mock-ups and models, and presenting the final design. To
safeguard your work, please do not send original materials.
Why hard copies? It makes our process more efficient, and it shows that
you were motivated enough to send a package and paid attention to
directions and details. You may include websites showing your work, but
please print and include significant items you'd like us to see.
Please address these materials to:

a good fit, we'll conduct either a phone or a face-to-face interview.
