Engineering Software & Automation InternCompany Description

VouDuo is a technology company focused on building practical, high-impact software and automation tools for engineering teams. We work with companies that design, build, and manufacture real products, including startups in aerospace, hardware, and advanced engineering.

Our work sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering, CAD, software, automation, and engineering data systems. We build tools and workflows that make complex engineering processes feel simple, reliable, and easy to use.

VouDuo values curiosity, problem-solving, technical discipline, and the ability to turn messy real-world engineering challenges into clean, useful solutions. This is a hands-on environment where team members are encouraged to learn quickly, experiment, and help bring bold technical ideas to life.

Role Description

VouDuo is looking for an Engineering Software & Automation Intern to support software tools, automation workflows, CAD/NX customizations, technical demos, and engineering system deployments.

This is a full-time, on-site internship based in Huntington Beach, CA.

This role is a strong fit for someone with a mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing, or engineering background who also enjoys software, scripting, automation, and solving technical problems. The intern will work on projects that support internal tools, customer-facing demos, installer automation, engineering workflows, and startup-focused technical solutions.

Daily work may include writing and debugging code, creating scripts, testing software tools, documenting technical procedures, modifying engineering workflows, supporting NX customization work, and helping improve the way engineering teams manage design and production data.

The intern will work closely with VouDuo’s engineering team to identify opportunities for automation, improve system efficiency, support proof-of-concept projects, and help prepare technical demonstrations for startup and engineering customers.
