Mechanical Engineering Intern (12 Week Internship)

Role Title: Mechanical Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

Reporting Line: The Mechanical Engineering Intern will report directly to the Principal Engineer – Drive Systems Engineering.

Departmental Overview
The Drive Systems Engineering department sits within the eSystems division and is responsible for delivering all mechanical design, engineering, and integration activities for the propulsion systems, thermal systems, and electric and hydraulic actuation systems within our greater eFoiler® systems and standalone propulsion technologies. The department is also critical for the delivery and performance of all Artemis Technologies vessels and is expanding its footprint within the company.

The Role
This 12-week summer internship offers hands-on experience supporting the fast-paced and exciting development of cutting-edge propulsion systems, thermal systems, and electric and hydraulic actuation systems. Working alongside experienced engineers, you will contribute to the conceptual development and detailed design of propulsion, thermal and actuation systems, components, and assemblies for our range of Artemis eFoiler® products. The role will focus on the mechanical design and integration of complex electromechanical systems, including electrical energy storage, alternative fuels, and power delivery systems. The role will be fast paced and dynamic, offering mentoring from experienced engineers and the opportunity to take ownership of a defined project during your placement.

Key Responsibilities

• Work collaboratively with the team to support design and integration workstreams, helping to plan activities and ensuring components and assemblies satisfy design requirements and are delivered on time and in budget.
• Assisting the development of solutions from a blank sheet through to detailed drawings for machined, cast, fabricated and additive manufactured components and assemblies using 3DX (CATIA V6).
• Support the development of system bills of materials, drawings and product lifecycle management (PLM) records.
• Support the design and reporting of the system’s design against required regulations.
• Assist with the specification of materials, surface finishes, treatments, and component tolerances to ensure assembly and endurance requirements are met in harsh marine environments.
• Help ensure that system and component designs are optimised for weight, cost and efficiency whilst being compliant with requirements for certification.
• Help compile technical documentation to support test, manufacturing processes and customer information.
• Support the boat development programs where required.
• Engage in the introduction of new technology to ATL where appropriate.
• Attend team and 1-1 meetings and fulfil reporting requirements as required by Artemis Technologies.
• Ensure compliance with Artemis Technologies Policies and procedures as outlined in the Company handbook.
• Build good working relationships across Artemis Technologies.
• Contribute to shaping a culture that reflects Artemis Technologies values and guiding principles and enables the company to achieve its goals.
• Present a summary of your internship project and key learnings to the team at the end of your placement.

 

Person Specification

Education/Qualifications and Experience

• Currently studying towards a degree in Mechanical Engineering or another relevant engineering discipline such as Automotive or Aerospace (on track for a 2:1 Hons or above), or HND, and returning to university after the internship.
• Involvement in engineering projects, societies or student competitions (e.g. Formula Student) or previous work experience in a marine / motorsport / aerospace setting is desirable but not essential.
• Experience or interest with Electric Drive Units (EDU), engines or mechanical systems is preferred.
• Experience or interest with electrical systems LV or HV is desired.

 

Key Skills Required

Technical/Design Skills

• Ability to work in a team of engineers to generate concepts from a blank sheet of paper and apply structured concept selection methods, ensuring concepts are feasible and deliver on critical project requirements.
• Interest in helping to plan and execute test plans to verify or validate system requirements.
• Experience of 3D CAD modelling of components and assemblies (e.g. through coursework or projects) using CATIA V5/V6 or other packages such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or Creo.
• Understanding of how to produce high-quality, detailed engineering drawings which support manufacture, inspection, and assembly.
• Awareness of a range of manufacturing processes and their associated limitations (e.g., moulding, stamping, forming, machining, casting, welding etc).
• Basic knowledge of material selection and surface treatments for highly loaded systems in a harsh marine environment.
• Exposure to analysis, prototyping and testing through academic or extracurricular projects.
• Applying a ‘first principles’ approach to solve challenging new problems, capable of completing hand calculation to guide initial design decisions.
• Ability to work independently on defined tasks, showing initiative and knowing when to ask for support.
• Familiarity with model-based design and simulation / CAE techniques (e.g. FEA, CFD) is desirable.

 

Communication Skills

• Good report writing skills: clear, concise, and well structured.
• Excellent interpersonal skills.

 

Teamworking

• Ability to relate well to others, and build co-operative and collaborative working relationships, both internally and externally.
• Organisational Skills.
• Ability to coordinate with other departments and flag issues.
• A focus on ‘delivery’ to an agreed schedule.
