    Roadrunner Venture Studio

    Mechanical engineering internship job in Knoxville, TN

    Company info. Build big; build fast. Directly fabricating large components on-site minimizes transport and assembly labor, forever simplifying construction and supply chains. But realizing that future requires new materials that are strong, low-cost, and can be manufactured with unprecedented speed and reliability. Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) have untapped potential for building big because unlike metals, their properties and processing are independent of each other. FRP processing can be hacked by innovations in resin chemistry. Perseus, established 2022, is a start-up out of Stanford University that uses proprietary resin chemistry for on-site manufacturing of oversize high-performance FRPs for buildings, bridges, wind turbines, and other applications in infrastructure and energy. We work closely with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and have support from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and ARPA-E. Check out of recent coverage on Core Memory: This Machine Could Be A US Manufacturing Breakthrough. What You'll Do As a Mechanical engineering intern/co-op, you'll be at the heart of our R&D and prototyping efforts. You'll work closely with engineers and designers to bring ideas to life, test new processes, and help shape the future of our products. Responsibilities: Assemble machines, jigs, and fixtures for experimental setups according to engineering specs Maintain, improve, and operate 3-d printers and other tooling including molds Assist in testing and troubleshooting machinery subsystems Assist in material testing and data collection for experimental trials Assist in shop organization, tool storage, etc. What We're Looking For: Familiarity with machine building and machine shop operations CAD experience, preferably SolidWorks Ability to read technical drawings and schematics Comfortable working in a shop environment-dust, grease, and grit don't scare you Self-starter who can operate with minimal direction and take initiative Naturally curious and eager to learn new tools, materials, and techniques Experience in a startup or R&D environment Designing and prototyping mechanical, electronic, and/or mechatronic projects Experience with composite materials Roadrunner Venture Studios is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer that proudly pursues and hires a diverse workforce.
