Mechatronics Engineer Intern

About the role

You will report directly to the Hardware Technical Lead and work closely with a multidisciplinary engineering team. During the internship you will gain hands‑on experience supporting the development of BeeX’s autonomous underwater vehicles, from concept through testing and deployment.

Key responsibilities

• Assist in designing mechanical components, mechanisms, and electronic enclosures using CAD software.
• Support prototyping, fabrication, and assembly of mechanical and mechatronic systems.
• Participate in mechanical testing, validation, and troubleshooting of components and assemblies.
• Help with firmware development and testing for embedded systems and microcontrollers.
• Assist with sensor integration, actuator testing, and hardware bring‑up.
• Prepare engineering drawings, technical documentation, and test reports.

Required profile

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Engineering or a related discipline.
• Basic knowledge of CAD software such as SolidWorks.
• Familiarity with prototyping methods (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining) is an advantage.
• Understanding of embedded systems, sensors, actuators, or microcontrollers.
• Positive learning attitude and ability to work in a fast‑paced environment.

Required skills

• SolidWorks or equivalent CAD tools
• 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining
• Embedded systems development (C/C++, Arduino, STM32, ARM)
• Python programming
• PCB design and electronics assembly
• Git or other version‑control systems

What we offer

• Competitive internship allowance
• Hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge autonomous underwater robotic systems
• Mentorship from experienced multidisciplinary engineers
• Opportunity to participate in sea trials and real‑world engineering activities
• Potential for full‑time conversion based on performance
