Mechanical Engineer Intern

Jun 2026 - Aug 2026

  • Under supervision, reviewed cooling-system capacity against equipment loads and operating conditions, checked manufacturer submittals, and reconciled commissioning measurements with the design calculation.
  • The team compared test results for refrigeration systems against rated specifications across ambient and part-load conditions, tracing deviations to sensor placement and component tolerances; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team separated a measurement issue from a design shortfall before the release review; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • The team supported product development by evaluating an alternate heat-exchanger assembly, updating the BOM and recording cost, fit, and verification requirements with manufacturing; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team kept the alternative on hold until the operating-condition test matrix was reviewed; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • Under supervision, owned a product-development test using mechanical specifications, resolved an enclosure-fit root cause and completed validation before the production design review.
  • Under supervision, released a quality inspection plan using tolerance-stack calculations, reduced assembly rework by 18% in the pilot batch while preserving safety and compliance checks.

Selected project

Field-to-design failure review

Intern project team member

Sep 2025 - May 2026

  • In a mentor-reviewed simulation, compared test results for refrigeration systems against rated specifications across ambient and part-load conditions, tracing deviations to sensor placement and component tolerances; separated a measurement issue from a design shortfall before the release review.
  • As a second supervised exercise, supported product development by evaluating an alternate heat-exchanger assembly, updating the BOM and recording cost, fit, and verification requirements with manufacturing; kept the alternative on hold until the operating-condition test matrix was reviewed.
  • Within a supervisor-assigned documentation task, linked field failure reports to returned-part inspection and laboratory observations. gave the design review a reproducible failure case rather than an untested replacement recommendation.
  • Used Refrigeration systems and BOM to compare the source record with the proposed result; documented exceptions, the reviewer, and the acceptance decision before handoff.
  • Built a training inspection sheet from public specifications and synthetic measurement results; separated instrument variation from an out-of-tolerance condition and kept the measurement method beside each reading.
  • Compared a proposed process change with the original setup, documented the drawing or instruction revision affected, and wrote an acceptance checklist that required repeatable evidence before recommending release.
  • Owned the bench validation using the original failure conditions, resolved a specification mismatch and completed a traceable test record with calibrated measurement references.
