Intern - Mechanical Engineer (all genders)

Your mission

• As a Mechanical Design Intern, you will strengthen our Mechanical Design Team by taking ownership of structured, detail-oriented engineering tasks that enable our senior engineers to focus on core product development.
• Your mission is to contribute directly to the further development of our UAV platforms, particularly OWE-V, by designing, modelling, and supporting the realisation of mechanical components and subsystems.
• This is not a passive internship. You will work hands-on with real hardware, real prototypes, and real production workflows in a fast-paced defence environment.

Responsibilities

• Design & Prototyping
• Component Design: Design parts and secondary structures for UAV systems and related operational equipment.
• CAD Modeling: Create detailed 3D models, technical drawings, and assembly instructions using CATIA V5.
• Prototype Manufacturing: Support the manufacturing of prototypes and mechanical components, including additive manufacturing processes.
• Engineering Support & Collaboration
• Team Support: Assist experienced mechanical design engineers in their day-to-day development activities.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with production and procurement teams to ensure designs are feasible, manufacturable, and aligned with material availability.
• Product Development: Contribute to iterative improvements and refinements of existing UAV platforms, supporting rapid development cycles.

Qualifications

• Experience & Education
• Academic Path: Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or a comparable technical field.
• Technical Background & Skills
• CAD Experience: First hands-on experience with CAD modeling tools, ideally CATIA V5.
• Manufacturing Exposure: Initial exposure to additive manufacturing or prototype development, for example through student projects or engineering teams.
• Technical Precision: Strong attention to detail and the ability to translate engineering requirements into clean, structured designs.
• Language: High proficiency in English (C1/C2), written and spoken.
• Mindset & Working Style
• Hands-On Mentality: You enjoy working with real hardware and understand how design decisions impact manufacturing and performance.
• Team Player: Comfortable collaborating in interdisciplinary, multinational teams.
• Startup Readiness: Able to operate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic defense-tech environment with high ownership and accountability.
