Air Squared Manufacturing Inc
Description:
Company Name: Air Squared
Title of Position: Mechanical Engineering Intern Summer 2024
Position Type: Full-time; Non-Exempt
Pay Range: $20 - $25 / hour based on qualifications and experience.
Air Squared Manufacturing, Inc. is a leading designer and manufacturer of
scroll type compressors and vacuum pumps for the medical, automotive,
aerospace, fuel cell and power generation industries. Our company focuses on
challenging, new applications which require unique solutions and outside of
the box thinking. Working closely with our customers allows us to design a
completely customized solution that fits their exact needs.
Air Squared is aggressively pursuing the compressors used in auxiliary air
systems on board fully electric trucks and
buses. Newly developed liquid cooled scroll compressor technology has shown to
offer a step change in pressure
capability for oil free compressors.
We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer Intern who is driven, perceptive,
organized, has leadership abilities, works well with others, and has
good attention to detail. This internship is ideal for a senior standing
student pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering.
Scroll compressors are unique in that their designs include a variety of
Mechanical Engineering specialties to fully
understand the working principles. These specialties include:
Heat Transfer: Understanding of heat transfer principles is necessary to
manage thermal effects during scroll device
operation. This knowledge is crucial for optimizing compressor reliability and
performance by designing for efficient heat dissipation.
Thermodynamics: A solid understanding of thermodynamics is essential for
analyzing the compression process within scroll devices. This knowledge will
be applied to optimize compressor performance metrics like efficiency and
discharge temperature.
Mechanics of Materials: A strong understanding of material properties is
essential for selecting appropriate materials for scroll devices we fabricate
at Air Squared. This knowledge will be applied to ensure component strength,
durability, and performance.
Dynamics & Statistics: The ability to analyze scroll device operation
using principles of dynamics and statics is crucial. This includes calculating
bearing loads, shaft deflections, and performing static balancing of
scroll compressors.
Fluid Dynamics: Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
software is required to analyze compressible flow in our scroll devices. You
will use this skillset to optimize factors like cooling and pressure drop.
The job will include assisting in the design and testing of new scroll
compressors and vacuum pump designs. This
includes detailing the design to be ready for manufacturing as well as
producing necessary documentation for the machine shop.
Job Responsibilities:
* Hardware selection such as couplings, bearings, fasteners and o-rings
* Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
* Supporting the machine shops to answer questions on critical dimensions or
design changes
* Design of test stands
* Support in Product Engineers
* Basic assembly or hands-on duties
* Testing and troubleshooting scroll prototypes
* Test equipment selection and installation
Qualifications:
* MUST SUBMIT A RESUME TO BE CONSIDERED
* Strong experience and understanding of SolidWorks (required)
* Understanding of GD&T (preferred)
* Use of CAE tools such as FEA and CFD (required)
* Understanding of LabVIEW operation and programming (preferred)
* Senior standing student pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering
(required)
* GPA of 3.5 or above (preferred)
* References from previous employers or instructors
* Employment with Air Squared is contingent on passing a statewide background
check, drug screening (for substances illegal in the state of
Colorado), and employment verification through E-Verify.
