Mechanical Production Engineer Internship H/F

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to mechanical design and sizing, including thermal constraints in cryogenic environments
• Creating and updating manufacturing drawings and technical documentation compliant with needs for production and assembly
• Participating in the industrialization process, ensuring designs are adapted to workshop and compatible with client site
• Following up on production progress, identifying risks (delays, non-conformities), and proposing corrective actions
• Supporting incoming inspection, parts validation, and assembly activities in collaboration with production teams
• Contributing to the definition and improvement of manufacturing processes (machining, assembly, treatments)
• Assisting in equipment testing, qualification, and validation, ensuring compliance with technical requirements
• Drafting assembly procedures, work instructions, and operational documentation
• Supporting testing campaigns and analyzing results with a production-oriented mindset

Under the supervision of a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will gain hands‑on experience in real industrial conditions, particularly in environments involving cryogenics (near 0 K) and RF/superconducting systems, where precision and production quality are critical.

Requirements:

You are currently enrolled in the final year of your Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Technical skills:

• Strong understanding of mechanics, manufacturing processes, and thermal engineering
• Knowledge of material properties, selection, and characterization
• Proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modeling, 2D drawings, ISO dimensioning)
• Familiarity with PDM systems (SolidWorks PDM is a plus)
• Basic understanding of production environments, machining (CNC and conventional), and assembly processes

Soft skills:

• Strong interest in production, manufacturing, and industrialization challenges
• Organized, autonomous, and detail-oriented
• Ability to interact with cross-functional teams (engineering, production, suppliers)
• Proactive mindset with problem-solving capabilities
• Fluent in English, with strong written and verbal communication skills
• Written and oral skills in French is a plus

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of cryogenic systems or experimental environments
• Basic understanding of RF electronics or superconducting technologies
• Previous industrial or production-related experience

Benefits:

• 1 day off per month
• Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law)
• Meal vouchers with Swile, and access to a fully equipped and regularly stocked kitchen
