About this role
We are seeking a mechanical engineering intern to join our Hardware Engineering team. Come and learn about our innovative mechanical design and hardware architectures, which contribute to us building some of the most energy and material efficient data center equipment in our industry. Our servers and data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently operates and our innovative services are delivered. The intern will work closely with AI, Power, Server, Storage, Network and Data Center Engineering design teams to help design, qualify and optimize our hardware.
This is a 12-week internship.
Responsibilities
Support the design of Meta’s next generation data center products in the AI, server, storage, network or power domains.
Interface with peer mechanical, hardware, and power engineers as well as other cross-functional teams to understand system architecture and design constraints.
Create mechanical design concepts for various products and develop these in 3D CAD.
Work across a variety of areas such as mechanism design, sheet metal and plastic part design, design for manufacturing, serviceability, and assembly.
Design mechanisms and service touch points to improve installation, serviceability and ergonomics of the design.
Devise and execute experiments for mechanical system optimization.
Build and test prototypes using our in-house workshop and external suppliers.
Validate hardware according to plan while keeping a thorough procedural record.
Diagnose and root-cause part, assembly or design failures with a hands-on approach.
