Role Summary:Quantum Signal AI is looking for a Mechatronics Engineering Intern for summer 2026. This is apaid internship opportunity offering valuable hands-on experience andeligibility for academic credit. The Mechatronics team is responsible for the design fabrication assembly documentation simulation and testing of mechanical and electronic systems in an R&D environment. As an intern you will work with multidisciplinary teams across various projects. Great candidates will have a broad mechanical understanding and experience with CAD modeling simulation assembly fabrication and basic electrical systems. We like lifelong learners who enjoy taking on diverse project-based workloads and value developing a wide range of skills. Join us for a multifaceted challenging and rewarding experience!
Location:We are located in Saline Michigan. This position is in-person to encourage a culture of collaboration and mentorship.
What Youll Do:- Design various mounts and mechanisms to support electromechanical systems using CAD software.
- Assist with hands-on fabrication assembly and testing of mechanical and electromechanical systems.
- Collaborate with mechanical electrical software and research engineers as members of various project-focused engineering teams.
- Investigate and troubleshoot problems that might arise during fabrication assembly and installation.
- Participate in and contribute to design reviews.
- Perform electrical work including soldering crimping creating wire harnesses etc.
- Create and collaborate with others on supporting documentation.
What Youll Bring:- Current enrollment as a sophomore or above in Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering or similar program.
- Currentenrollmentin adegree-seeking program maintainingstudent status for the entire duration of the internship including the academic term immediately following the internship.
- Proficiency in CAD software (Fusion 360 Catia SolidWorks etc.).
- Desire to work hands-on.
- Confidence and motivation to tackle new challenges and receive constructive feedback.
- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and pursue creative approaches to technical problems.
- Solid understanding of core mechanical concepts.
- Willingness and interest in learning.
- Ability to apply existing technology to new problems.
- Ability to lift objects of various shapes sizes and weights (up to 30 lbs.).
- Ability to safely walk and stand for extended periods of time reach (including above your head) bend climb push pull twist squat and kneel as necessary.
Bonus Points For:- Experience with basic hand tools power tools and fabrication.
- Work or hobby experience with reverse-engineering or analyzing existing electromechanical systems.
- Previous work/internship/co-op experience in a technical setting.
- Basic understanding of electrical concepts.
- Experience working as a member of multidisciplinary teams.
- Knowledge of 3D printing and related software.
You may not check every box or your experience may look a little different from what weve outlined but if you are excited about this role and think you can bring value to Quantum Signal AI we encourage you to apply!
What Youll Get:- Frequent collaboration with a diverse set of teams at QSAI
- A rare level of work variety and hands-on experience
- A relaxed fun community and environment in which to solve interesting problems
- Opportunity to participate in a 401(k) savings plan
- Ford AXZ-Plan vehicle discounts
- Other perks to fuel creativity such as an on-site gymnasium free drinks and snacks and a variety of optional team activities
Candidates for positions with Quantum Signal AI must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire.
Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
About QSAI:Founded in 1999 Quantum Signal grew up developing intelligent algorithms and AI. As our engineering R&D services expanded we later sharpened our focus on applications and technology related to mobility sensing perception autonomy and 2019 we became Quantum Signal AI a subsidiary of Ford Motor developing technologies to advance their R&D efforts. We build solutions to enhance the capability robustness safety and acceptance of intelligent ground vehicles in an effort to make transportation more effective and efficient for all.
Our HQ in the historic Union School in Saline MI is the perfect playground to develop this cutting-edge technology and were always looking for smart folks who like new challenges learning new skills and technical variety.
