Mechanical Engineering Internship

What To Expect
Location: Athens, Greece

Time Type: Full Time

Duration: 6 months

Start Date: Fall 2026

The role involves solving challenging mechanical problems involving precision components, motion systems, and electromechanical assemblies. Strong analytical thinking, practical engineering judgment, and creative problem solving are essential to develop designs that move efficiently from concept to product-ready hardware.

Work on the development of precision electromechanical systems and advanced actuation mechanisms used in demanding applications. Mechanical design is closely integrated with rapid-prototyping activities like testing, and manufacturing, requiring engineers to move quickly between concept development, hands-on experimentation, and product refinement.

What You'll Do

Design and 3D modeling of mechanical components, assemblies or fixtures for testing or engineering validation.

Design mechanical components and assemblies for electromechanical systems and actuation mechanisms.

Develop precision motion systems including rotary or linear geartrains and structural components.

Translate functional system requirements into mechanical design requirements such as stiffness, strength, and tolerance.

Apply analytical methods including engineering calculations and simulations to support design decisions.

Rapidly prototype and iterate designs through testing and experimentation.

Participate in the assembly and debugging of prototypes and development hardware.

Perform tolerance analysis to evaluate the impact of fits, backlash, and manufacturing variation on system performance.

Support the transition of prototype designs toward product-ready hardware.

What You'll Bring

MSc studies (ongoing) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.

Strong mathematical and physics background as well as analytical thinking and problem-solving ability.

Experience with 3D CAD modeling and mechanical design principles.

Understanding thermodynamics and heat transfer will be considered a plus.

Understanding manufacturing processes.

Experience in drafting engineering drawings and conducting tolerance stack-up analysis.

Strong MATLAB programming skills will be considered a plus.

Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced and collaborative challenging environment.

Strong interest in electromechanical systems, motors, actuators, and precision mechanisms

Hands-on mindset with interest in building, testing, and debugging mechanical systems
