Intern Mechanical Engineer

Our Mechanical Engineering team is responsible for driving innovation from the initial concept through to high-volume production for our key stakeholders' products. We serve as the vital integration hub, bridging the gap between various hardware disciplines, including Radio Frequency, Electrical Engineering, and Optics. Our lab is fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools for rapid prototyping, comprehensive testing, and advanced hardware development, offering a dynamic environment for hands-on engineering.

As an Intern Mechanical Engineer at SQUAD, you will join our hardware development team and participate in the full design lifecycle, from initial concept to mass production. This role provides practical experience in real-world engineering challenges. You will work on designing plastic parts for injection molding, engineering sheet metal components, and developing mechanical layouts for high-density assemblies with specific IP-rating requirements.

This position requires a physical presence in our Kyiv office to work in the mechanical laboratory.

• →Assist in the design of plastic, milled, and sheet metal components
• →Build functional prototypes and develop custom testing rigs and stands
• →Actively participate in technical reviews and engage in continuous self-improvement under the mentorship of senior engineers.

• Basic proficiency in SolidWorks (or a similar CAD package)
• A strong 'maker' mindset with proven experience using hand and power tools for prototyping, whether through hobbyist projects or academic laboratory environments
