Undergraduate Engineering Intern Mechanical Design

This graduate internship is a full-time position Summer-Fall 2026 (May or June through December) on site in Rochester Minnesota.

The primary purpose of the Undergraduate Engineer Internship is to provide an engineering student with relevant engineeringexperience. One or more mentors will be assigned to the intern toprovideinstruction guidanceand to assess performance as well as bea technical resource for internis responsible forlearning the procedures and processes of the Division of Engineering and the assigned work addition the intern will be given selected engineering work assignments to reinforce the learning experience and toprovidebenefit to the work unit. The engineering assignments may include designing components developing a project strategy gathering user needsrequirementsand specifications evaluating commercial components prototyping performing design verification and design validation troubleshooting andparticipatingin design assignments are within the context of the Division of Engineering Quality Management System (including safety risk management) and are performed in a multi-disciplinary development intern willbe responsible forcompleting all internship-related assignments and reports for both Mayo and the participating educational facility (if applicable).

The Mechanical Engineering Design intern will join the Mechanical Development Unit within the Division of Engineering (DOE). This unit is one of several specialized groups within DOE similar to the Software and Electronics Development Units. The Mechanical Development Unit leverages mechanical engineering expertise as part of DOEs multidisciplinary approach to developing unique devices and systems for Mayo Clinic providers and researchers. The candidate will be assigned to projects alongside other Mechanical Engineers as well as other engineering disciplines. Some projects only require mechanical engineers while other projects require multiple engineering disciplines. Project work for this candidatewill include computer-aided design (CAD) work using SolidWorks prototype development with both traditional and additive manufacturing technologies verification testing and engineering documentation. The candidate will be assigned one or more mentors to provide work direction and guidance on projects. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles a working knowledge of SolidWorks experience with design for fabrication and excellent written and verbal communication skills.

The incumbent must be enrolled in an engineering management information systems or other technology-related degree program from an accredited college or university and have completed a minimum of four semesters or the equivalent of instruction toward their degree.

A GPA of 3.4 or greater on a 4.0 scale
