What Does a Mechanical Engineering Intern Do?

As a mechanical engineering intern, you prepare calculations and reports, gain experience with engineering systems, integrate tracking plans, and perform analysis of mechanical design choices. You may help test products, interact with various members of a project team, and create or modify CAD models. As an intern, your responsibilities are limited, and most employers consider gaining experience to be the most important part of your job. Many mechanical engineering interns focus on building professional relationships in the hope of landing a permanent job after graduating. You may need to develop your skills in engineering, CAD software, and prototyping during your internship.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Mechanical Engineering Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Mechanical Engineering Intern, you need a solid grasp of engineering fundamentals, problem-solving abilities, and coursework in mechanical design or analysis, often supported by progress toward a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with CAD software (such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD), simulation tools, and basic lab equipment is typically required. Strong communication, teamwork, and a willingness to learn help interns adapt quickly and contribute effectively to projects. These skills and qualities are important to ensure interns can support engineering teams, apply theory to real-world challenges, and grow within the profession.

What types of projects do Mechanical Engineering Interns typically work on, and how much hands-on experience can I expect?

As a Mechanical Engineering Intern, you'll often assist with a mix of design, analysis, and testing projects under the guidance of experienced engineers. Interns commonly use CAD software to create or modify designs, help with prototype assembly, perform basic calculations, and assist in conducting experiments or tests. You can expect significant hands-on experience, especially in labs or on the shop floor, learning how theoretical concepts are applied in real-world engineering tasks. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, such as manufacturing or quality assurance, is typical, providing valuable exposure to the entire product lifecycle.

Mechanical Engineer (MEP) - Forensic Investigator

Robson Forensic

Dublin, OH • On-site

Full-time

Posted 21 days ago

Job description

You are a P.E. with a Mechanical Engineering degree and 10+ years of industry experience in startup, commissioning, maintenance, or operation of Mechanical, HVAC, and Plumbing Systems. You have a broad understanding of mechanical building systems, industrial process systems, and fire protection.

You are already an expert. Robson Forensic will train you to be a forensic expert.

As a Mechanical Engineering (MEP) Forensic Expert, you will:

  • Investigate mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC incidents.
  • Analyze engineering procedures, applying your comprehensive knowledge of standards and practices.
  • Write clear, scientifically sound reports.
  • Provide expert testimony.

Typical cases include system benchmarking disputes, project delays, cost overruns, environmental contamination, or property damage related to the release of water or other chemicals. Personal injury casework varies, but often includes scalding injuries, carbon monoxide poisonings, or exposures to hazardous materials.

You will delve into the "why" behind incidents, critically assessing decision-making, operational procedures, and the standard of care. This role offers you a chance to:

  • Use your cumulative training, experience, and critical thinking skills.
  • Collaborate with highly respected experts.
  • Continuously learn and grow.
  • Make a tangible difference.

Locations: Columbus/Dublin, OH, Lancaster, PA, Las Vegas, NV (hybrid)

Requirements:

  • Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

  • Experience: 10+ years of hands-on experience in startup, commissioning, maintenance, or operation of Mechanical, HVAC, and Plumbing Systems, including the design, review, and assessment of facilities/building systems.

  • Knowledge: Thorough working knowledge of mechanical building systems, industrial process systems, and fire protection.

  • Skills: Excellent technical, analytical, writing, and communication skills.

  • Aptitude: Strong ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, objective evidence for non-technical audiences.

  • Work Style: Roughly 20% travel for inspections; the remainder is focused on analysis and report drafting under strict deadlines, working independently and as part of a collaborative team.

  • Prior forensic experience is not required. We seek professionals eager to apply their deep industry knowledge to a challenging new domain.

You must have a clean background screen, a driver’s license, and the ability to drive.

ABOUT US:

Robson Forensic is a national leader in expert witness consulting, providing technical expertise across many fields within engineering, architecture, science, and a broad range of specialty disciplines.

Employees at Robson Forensic work alongside highly respected experts from both industry and academia. Our forensic experts are engaged in meaningful casework that is consequential to industry and society. Robson Forensic provides a unique working dynamic that blends collaboration and autonomy.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.

HOW TO APPLY:

If this opportunity meets your expectations for a challenging and rewarding career, and you meet our minimum requirements, please apply and attach your resume and a cover letter outlining your professional background and experience.
