Mechanical Design Engineer Intern

H3X Technologies Inc•Louisville, CO

47d•$23 - $37

About The Position

At H3X, we are building the most advanced electric motors in the world for sustainable aviation, marine, industrial, and defense applications. At 12 kW/kg continuous, the HPDM family of integrated motor drives is a step change in electric propulsion technology and removes one of the main barriers blocking widespread proliferation of electric and hybrid aircraft. Our motors range in size from 30 kW to 30 MW, include integrated drives, and are 3X lighter than competitors' systems. H3X is looking to hire a mechanical design engineering intern this summer to support the development across all aspects of the HPDM product line. This is not an ordinary internship- you will be given the full responsibility of a mechanical design engineer. The engineering team is intentionally small and operates at a very fast pace. A high degree of self-motivation and responsibility is required as you will be given significant freedom and will be directly responsible for your parts.
