As a Structural Design Engineering Intern, you will join the Structural Design & Analysis team and be integrated into the product development process. Under the mentorship of an experienced structural engineer, you will build finite element models, analyze AR/VR designs, support material characterization, and help verify & validate finite element models. You will work as part of a cross-functional team requiring collaboration with product design, manufacturing design, materials and reliability teams.

Our ideal candidate has strong solid mechanics fundamentals, exposure to static & dynamic finite element analysis, intellectual curiosity, and strong communication skills.

---## Structural Design Engineer - FEA (Intern) Responsibilities
* As a structural design engineering intern, own a scoped structural analysis project end to end, from problem definition to final readout.
* Build module-level finite element models to assess risk of failure modes such as drop/shock, static strength, and thermo-mechanical stress.
* Perform first-principles hand calculations to sanity-check and bound simulation results.
* Support correlation and validation of finite element models against physical test data, in partnership with the REL & DVE teams.##

Minimum Qualifications
* Currently enrolled in an MS or PhD program in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, or similar. Final-year BS candidates with relevant experience will be considered
