Job Description
Join Energy Recovery and Help Build a Sustainable Future
At Energy Recovery, we build products that help limit global temperature rise, reduce carbon emissions, provide safe drinking water for millions of people, and bring efficiency and sustainability to a range of industries. Our products help customers avoid approximately 19.7 million metric tons of carbon emissions per year -- equivalent to removing over 4.7 million cars from the road!
In addition to innovating world-class products that help our customers and the environment, our employees enjoy a diverse, collaborative work culture, as well as extensive company benefits that support the overall wellbeing of our staff. This includes everything from generous health plans and time off, paid family leave, subsidized lunches and company events, and opportunities for charitable giving and volunteering in the community.
What You Can Look Forward To:
Energy Recovery, Inc. is seeking a qualified candidate for an immediate summer internship opening with the Product and Sustaining team in the San Leandro, CA facility. You will work with the Product & Sustaining Engineering team, the group that owns our product lines after initial launch. Under the mentorship of senior engineers you will touch every part of the product life-cycle, documentation, design updates, failure analysis, and factory support—while building real-world skills that classrooms do not teach.
What Will You Do?
- Build New-Product-Introduction (NPI) document packages-curves, Technical Data Sheets, specifications, IOM manuals, and spare-parts lists-for upcoming product releases.
- Support failure analysis by gathering data and assisting with preliminary root-cause investigations on returned units.
- Update BOMs, drawings, and CAD models in our system and make sure released data is clean and complete.
- Review NCMR and manufacturing-deviation reports; capture go/no-go tolerances that help Quality decide if a part can ship.
- Assist with test-loop preparation and data logging for factory acceptance tests of new designs.
What You Bring to the Table:
- Enrolled in a BS program in Mechanical Engineering (or similar) with at least two years completed.
- Coursework or project experience with SolidWorks or Onshape
- Familiarity with basic mechanics of materials and fluid dynamics; FEA or CFD classwork
- Familiarity with use of a commercial FEA tool such as ANSYS for structural analysis.
- Detail-oriented, eager to learn, and comfortable asking questions.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
The below range is the range that we reasonably believe to be the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting.
