## About the role

Does aggressively tackling cross disciplinary projects from early conceptual stages through to full field deployment sound like the way you want to spend your time? Do you eliminate circular discussions by running a test or use your hands-on skills to build a prototype instead of scheduling another meeting? At Zipline, your work is intended for the field, where customers are counting on it every day, so there is no time for ambiguous communication or unrealistic expectations.

## What they're looking for

- Mechanical interns can own a variety of big problems integral to our system! You can expect to:
- Take product and engineering requirements to develop concepts and evaluate tradeoffs for each
- Use 2D and 3D CAD tools to design parts and assemblies based on sound engineering principles
- Use resources creatively to design, build, and test prototypes to gather quick learnings
- Work cross-functionally with other Zipline teams and suppliers to review designs
- Design, build, and run electro-mechanical testers that you develop to prove reliability of critical components
