Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering Intern

At Pando Data, we build visual AI and high-accuracy dimensional measurement systems for harsh industrial environments. We're looking for an intern who enjoys turning theory into working hardware and thinking through real-world constraints, not just ideal designs.

The work spans CAD, mechanical assembly, precision alignment, and validation in the presence of heat, vibration, and access constraints. This is a hands-on, end-to-end engineering project, not a simulation exercise.

• Design aluminium profile frames and C-gate structures in CAD
• Support the full build cycle: design procurement assembly testing
• Assist with sensor mounting, alignment, and calibration
• Evaluate stiffness, deflection, and thermal effects in mechanical rigs
• Create basic drawings, BOMs, and assembly/alignment documentation
• Participate in measurement repeatability and validation tests
• Work closely with engineers across design and testing
  

• Bachelor's (ongoing or completed) in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Industrial Engineering
• Comfortable with 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar)
• Familiar with mechanical assemblies, fasteners, aluminium profiles, and basic measurement tools
• Hands-on mindset comfortable in a lab or workshop
• Bonus: aluminium machining, electronics/soldering, basic data analysis (Excel / Python / MATLAB)
• Clear communicator who documents work properly

We value original thinkers with strong fundamentals more than narrow specialization.

• First-hand understanding of how mechanical design impacts measurement accuracy
• Practical experience with precision alignment and calibration
• Exposure to real-world error sources: thermal drift, vibration, tolerance stack-ups
• End-to-end ownership of an engineering system
• Tangible work you can showcase in a portfolio or thesis
  

• Real industrial system, real constraints, real outcomes
• Learn where microns meet heat and mechanics
• Direct mentorship from engineers in automation and metrology
