As a Product Design Mechanical Engineer Intern at Verkada, you’ll contribute to the design and development of new cameras, access control systems, sensors, and other enterprise IoT products.  Verkada’s PD engineers own all aspects of the mechanical design from prototype through to mass production. You’ll make a big impact — your designs will be a part of future products that Verkada ships.

  • Leverage your prototyping skills & analytical abilities to generate mechanical solutions for a wide variety of product requirements relevant to enterprise hardware (mounting, sealing, environmental resistance, thermals, tamper resistance, etc).  
  • Join design reviews & brainstorms with ME and manufacturing team members who will mentor you along the way.  
  • Collaborate with our Electrical Engineering team to integrate PCBAs, sensors, interconnects, and other electro-mechanical elements into your designs.  
  • Collaborate with our Industrial Design team to explore, prototype & test new product concepts.  Collaborate with ID to finalize product form & CMF.  
  • Work with mechanical vendors to dial in DFM/DFA, then quote & kick-off parts at prototype and production quantities. Assist with tooling release, bring up and validation for a broad variety of parts & processes.
  • Assist in the development & execution of mechanical reliability test plans and various DoEs.  Assist with failure analysis and root cause analysis; troubleshoot, iterate, and validate quickly.    
  • Work closely with our JDM and CM partners to steer your product concepts through validation builds (EVT, DVT, PVT) & into mass production.  

Requirements

  • Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a similar field; nearing graduation (winter 2022 - spring 2023). 
  • Available for an extended term (6-8 months) starting in Spring/Summer of 2022.
  • Experience with 3D CAD software. 
  • Experience getting hands-on with building & testing hardware.
  • Strong understanding & intuition regarding strength of materials, thermodynamics, and manufacturing.  We value both breadth and depth.
