Prototyping Intern

🔥 We challenge you!

Key Responsibilities / What you will do:

- Detail design of prototypes; pragmatically create the drawings required to create prototypes
- Build prototypes; you will make the prototypes with tools provided in the (very well equipped) mechanical workshop. Your main responsibility is to take a concept design, and create a working tool that you will build and assemble yourself and test them.

‍

👉🏼 You are

- You are flexible and able to cope with the uncertainties (and freedom!) of working at a start-up. Plans may change overnight; structures are not yet firmly in place.
- You need to deliver on the goal, but how you do it is very much up to you.
- Excellent problem-solving abilities and a desire to learn and grow in a dynamic environment.
- Strong collaborative mindset willing to learn by experimenting and doing.
- Passion for green technology and sustainability initiatives.

‍

👩‍💻 Requirements

- You are a very pragmatic and enthusiastic individual pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, or related technical fields. (HBO, bachelor / mechanical engineering)
- Passion for making things work. Your practical talent to create a real, working prototype is what counts most in this assignment.
- Being able to analyze your work and come up with rapid solutions to improve it.
- Pragmatism; what works works. Solutions do not have to be perfect, you need to be able to build the prototypes with a 3D printer (available) and in the mechanical workshop. Experience using metal working tools is a big plus, as is experience in building or repairing mechanical devices.
- Digital skills; you need sufficient knowledge of 3D CAD software to create detailed designs (Pls bring your own computer with 3D Cad or other software you may need).

‍

🏦 What do you get in return?

-  Improve your rapid prototyping skills
- Receive practical training on several new machines (you will be using when building the prototypes).
- Gain valuable hands-on experience in a start-up environment dedicated to sustainable tech solutions.
- Mentorship from seasoned professionals (22+ years working experience).
- Being part of a start-up community (Yes!Delft) with plenty networking opportunities and exposure to innovative technology.
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge solutions in a super innovative and pragmatic setting.
- Internship compensation is available.
- Contribute to solutions that make a real
