Amentum Mechanical Engineering Intern in Severn, Maryland

The Amentum team is looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated, and hardworking individual that takes ownership of their work, thrives on the opportunity to take on challenges, and takes pride in their accomplishments. A Mechanical Engineer in the Rapid Solutions division at Amentum applies knowledge in 3D CAD design, GD&T, heat transfer, structural mechanics, composite materials, radome design, material properties, and other engineering design principles to various electronics packaging projects. The microelectronics and supporting structure designed must function in harsh environments produced by airplanes, satellites, shps, and automobiles in locations around the globe. In conjunction, they must withstand temperature extremes, thermal shock, vibration, structural shock, moisture, and corrosion.

As a Mechanical Engineering Intern, you will learn how to design for these challenging conditions, while gaining a fundamental understanding in some areas of printed circuit board (PCB) design, RF engineering, and a variety of fabrication and manufacturing processes. Activities will be designed to give the Intern exposure to the design engineering lifecycle and insights into the role that Mechanical engineers play at Amentum. Each intern will be paired with an engineering mentor to provide guidance and to enhance their educational experience.

The Mechanical Engineering group is a high performing team with a breadth of experience in mechanical design, electronics manufacturing, electronics packaging, structural, and thermal analysis. The intern will support in some or all of the following areas:

  • 3D CAD (Solidworks) design and drafting of mechanical/electrical components and assemblies.

  • Performing engineering analyses: thermal, structural, tolerance stack-ups.

  • Fabricating, assembling and qualifying 1st article engineering prototypes.

  • Designing and conducting laboratory experiments to evaluate material selections and/or advanced electronic packaging manufacturing processes.

  • Performing vendor research, selection, and interface.

Requirements:

  • Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.

  • Pursing a Bachelors (Entering 2nd year or above) or Masters degree in one of the following disciplines: Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science Engineering.

  • Cumulative GPA > 3.0/4.0.

  • Strong problem-solving skills.

  • Good interpersonal skills including a passionate and can-do attitude.

Preferred:

  • Experience in designing and carrying out experiments (e.g. undergraduate/graduate research, lab coursework).

  • Machine design and drafting experience.

  • 3D Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) experience in Solidworks.

  • Hands-on manufacturing experience (e.g. machining, composite layup, etc).

  • Excellent writing, communication, and interpersonal skills.
