AI generated summary

You must have experience in engineering design, mechanical systems, and 3D printers. Hands-on experience in research, projects, internships, or work is key. Your resume and portfolio should demonstrate your learning and application.
You will design studies, build test setups, debug issues, write Python scripts, and support prototype development in a cross-disciplinary engineering team.

Requirements

Have a desire to hone your skills and learn more about engineering design and the process of bringing products to market
Have worked with mechanical or electro-mechanical systems and want exposure to the inner workings of 3D printers
Have one or more of the following hands-on experiences:
Lab research, member of a project team, prior internship or previous work experience
Have an up-to-date resume and portfolio of your previous experience to highlight what you have learned and how you have applied that learning

Responsibilities

Creating a robust, high-reliability 3D printer necessitates a team of cross-disciplinary engineers who can understand complex system interactions to integrate new features, validate functionality, and test for reliability. As an intern, you will contribute to this process in the following ways:
Design and run studies to characterize and evaluate the performance of 3D printers
Design and build test setups to evaluate the reliability of 3D printer subsystems
Debug and diagnose issues with the electro-mechanical systems and work with the Mechanical, Electrical, and Embedded Firmware teams to implement fixes
Put your software skills to work by writing Python scripts, queries, and making tools to support reliability and characterization studies.
Polish your time management and communication skills to increase your effectiveness as an engineer
