What is the difference between Internship New Graduate Mechanical Engineer vs Mechanical Designer?

AspectInternship New Graduate Mechanical EngineerMechanical Designer
Required CredentialsBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; internship experience preferredBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, or related field; some roles may require certifications
Work EnvironmentInternship setting, often in engineering firms or manufacturing companies, with mentorshipDesign offices, engineering departments, or manufacturing firms, focusing on CAD and design tasks
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by companies hiring entry-level engineers for training and assessmentUsed by companies developing mechanical components, products, or systems

The Internship New Graduate Mechanical Engineer role is an entry-level position aimed at recent graduates gaining practical experience, often with mentorship. Mechanical Designer roles focus on creating detailed designs and CAD models, requiring similar educational backgrounds but emphasizing design skills. Both roles are common in manufacturing and engineering industries, but internships are temporary training positions, while Mechanical Designer roles are typically full-time positions.

Job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
NEW GRADUATE ENGINEER, MECHANICAL - '26/'27 (STARLINK)
Starlink believes in providing fast, reliable internet to serve populations with little or no connectivity. We design, build, launch, and operate the world's largest constellation of satellites, enabling us to operate a global internet network unbounded by traditional ground infrastructure limitations. Starlink also designs, builds, and delivers high-volume consumer hardware that allows users to connect to these satellites within minutes of unboxing, as well as our advanced gateways that we deploy regionally throughout the world. The root of SpaceX's success so far lies in our mission to keep all engineering and production in-house, which enables a tight feedback loop, nimble decision-making, and speedy deliverables. With millions of daily users worldwide already online, Starlink is a true game-changer and levels the playing field for those who were previously unconnected.
The Starlink facility in Bastrop is the newest and fastest growing site at SpaceX. With millions of square feet of manufacturing space, this site is currently responsible for the development and production of all terrestrial hardware and next generation satellite technology for Starlink.
Below are a number of mechanical teams that are eager to hire top engineering talent at the new graduate level:
  • Product Design - Own Starlink consumer hardware from conceptual design through high-volume production and public launch to our end users across enterprise, commercial, residential, and roam sectors
  • Gateway Design - Own Starlink ground station hardware from conceptual design through production, deployment, and operation on a global scale
  • Process - Develop and implement advanced manufacturing processes spanning PCB fabrication, silicon packaging, solar-cell processing etc., ultimately cementing SpaceX as one of the leading in-house manufacturing entities in the United States
  • Manufacturing - Design production lines to capable of producing tens of thousands of units each day while continuously seeking to improve our processes, output, and yield
  • Reliability - Spearhead failure analysis and root cause efforts while partnering with design and production teams to ensure that all hardware that leaves our factory is successful and reliable in the real world
  • Controls - Lead creative, multi-disciplinary projects spanning machine design, robotics, motion systems, and factory health monitoring to form the innovative, high-rate factories that allow us to deliver internet to those that need it most
  • Facilities - Ensure the safety and efficiency of our mechanical systems by improving various factory systems site-wide, including HVAC, plumbing, building structures, and construction systems that will turn Bastrop into a state-of-the-art engineering campus
  • Satellite Design - Own the mechanical and structural design of Starmind Satellite

RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Own Starlink hardware from conceptual design through high-volume production
  • Develop design criteria, collaborate on requirements, and drive system-level optimization
  • Design and develop the production lines that manufacture your product, including robot end effector design, process development, control system design, automation programming, and more
  • Refine the production system to create high-rate, high-yield, and reliable processes
  • Identify trends and opportunities for optimizing product output, quality enhancements, and cost of manufacturability
  • Troubleshoot mechanical system problems, formulate maintenance protocols, service schedules, and coordinate material procurement for machinery upkeep
  • Challenge assumptions and work to find simple solutions to complex problems

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
  • 1+ years of experience with mechanical/electromechanical design, analysis, testing, and/or manufacturing (internship or extracurricular experience is applicable)
  • Graduating in the class of 2026 or 2027

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Solid understanding and application of GD&T, mechanical engineering fundamentals, structural analysis, and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
  • Experience with CAD and/or finite element analysis (FEA) software packages
  • Experience with Six Sigma and basic failure analysis tools and methods (X-ray, cross-section, polishing)
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes and how to design for manufacturability
  • Exposure to some variety of production machinery, industrial sensors, and equipment (motion systems, dispense systems, temperature controllers, laser distance sensors, injection molders, die casters, etc.)
  • Excellent communication skills both written and verbal
  • Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
