Engineering Intern

At HULK USA engineering goes beyond the drawing board. Our engineers design develop test and improve products built to solve real challenges in the oil and gas industry.

We are seeking motivated Mechanical Engineering students for our Summer 2027 Engineering Internship Program. This 10-week internship offers hands-on experience in mechanical design product development prototyping manufacturing and engineering testing.

As an Engineering Summer Intern you will work alongside experienced engineers contribute to active engineering initiatives and take ownership of a defined project from concept through completion. At the end of the summer you will present your work technical findings and recommendations to the engineering team.

This opportunity is ideal for students who enjoy solving problems working with their hands asking questions and seeing their designs come to life.

Engineering Design & Product Development

• Support the development and improvement of downhole tools and mechanical components from initial concept through prototyping testing and manufacturing.
• Create and modify 3D CAD models engineering drawings assembly drawings and bills of materials (BOMs) using SolidWorks.
• Assist in designing and fabricating prototypes test fixtures equipment components and product demonstration displays.
• Collaborate with engineers to evaluate designs troubleshoot technical challenges and identify opportunities for improvement.

Product Testing & Validation

• Support the design construction and development of engineering test equipment including flow loops gas metering systems and product test fixtures.
• Participate in functional performance and competitive testing of HULK products.
• Assist in developing test procedures collecting and analyzing data and documenting technical results.
• Help identify product performance improvements based on testing and engineering analysis.

Manufacturing & Prototype Support

• Work with Engineering and Operations to support prototype assembly troubleshooting and production readiness.
• Participate in hands-on problem-solving activities involving mechanical components manufacturing processes and product performance.
• Support 3D printing and additive manufacturing for prototypes production aids and customer demonstration samples.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Engineering Documentation & Collaboration

• Develop and maintain engineering drawings material specifications design records test reports and manufacturing documentation.
• Organize technical information to support engineering consistency and future product development.
• Communicate project progress technical challenges and recommendations to engineering team members.
• Collaborate across Engineering Manufacturing and Operations to support shared objectives.

One of the highlights of this internship is the opportunity to take ownership of a meaningful engineering project.

Working with an assigned engineering mentor you will:

• Lead a defined project aligned with HULKs engineering product development testing or manufacturing priorities.
• Establish project objectives milestones and expected deliverables.
• Apply engineering principles to develop test and evaluate potential solutions.
• Provide regular progress updates address technical challenges and incorporate feedback.
• Present your project results lessons learned and recommendations to the engineering team at the conclusion of the internship.

We want you to leave the summer with more than experience observing engineers. We want you to have completed meaningful engineering work and understand the impact of your contributions.

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Junior standing or higher at the start of the internship.
• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.
