Design Engineer Intern

ABOUT DIAt Dimensional Innovations (DI), we’re Designers, Makers, Engineers, Developers, Strategists and Innovators working together to create remarkable experiences, places and products.

Our work lives at the intersection of design, technology and fabrication. From immersive brand experiences and interactive technology to sports venues, museums, corporate environments and destinations, we bring big ideas to life—all under one roof at our Kansas City headquarters.

ABOUT OUR SUMMER INTERNSHIP At DI, an internship isn't about sitting on the sidelines.

Our summer interns become part of the team and have the opportunity to contribute to real client projects alongside professionals in their field. You'll see how ideas move from concept to design, development, fabrication and installation—and how different disciplines come together to create something remarkable.

Throughout the summer, you'll build practical skills, learn from experienced mentors, make connections across DI and leave with meaningful experience you can take back to school and into your career.

You'll work hard, learn a lot and have some fun along the way.

DESIGN ENGINEER INTERN SUMMARYDI's Engineering Team plays a critical role in turning remarkable ideas into things that can actually be built.

Our engineers balance creative intent with real-world considerations like materials, fabrication methods, structural requirements, cost, installation and constructability. They work closely with Design, Production, Technology, Project Management and Installation to take ambitious concepts and develop solutions that can successfully move through our shop and into the field.

As a Design Engineer Intern, you'll become part of that process. You'll work alongside our engineers on real DI client projects, gaining hands-on experience solving the challenges that come with turning creative concepts into physical experiences.

You'll explore how objects and environments are engineered using metals, wood, plastics and other materials while learning how thoughtful engineering helps bridge the gap between “What if we did this?” and “Here's how we're going to build it.”What You May Work On Contribute to real client projects alongside DI's Engineering team Assist with reading, interpreting and preparing production and submittal drawings

Create and modify 3D models and drawings using Solid Works Help  translate creative concepts into practical, buildable solutions

Explore materials, fabrication methods and construction techniques used to bring custom projects to life Collaborate with Design, Production, Technology, Project Management and other teams throughout the project process

Participate in project meetings, design reviews and problem-solving conversations

See engineered solutions move from your screen into DI's fabrication shop—and ultimately into the finished client experience WHAT YOU’LL LEARNBy the end of the summer, you'll have greater exposure to:

Engineering custom, one-of-a-kind projects in a real-world environment

Turning conceptual designs into fabrication-ready solutions

Creating and interpreting production and submittal drawings
