About H3X Technologies
H3X is building America's advanced electric motor company, powering next-generation platforms in aerospace, defense, and marine. Our integrated motor drives deliver 12+ kW/kg, roughly 3x the power density of competing solutions. We're now scaling to megawatt-class systems, with customers working on everything from supersonic aircraft to turbine power generation for AI datacenters.
Our team brings together engineers and operators from aerospace, defense, and motorsports, with deep expertise in electric machines, power electronics, material science, and advanced manufacturing. We're a small, fast-moving team doing hard engineering that matters, and we're looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers alongside us.
About the Role
H3X is looking to hire a mechanical design engineering intern to support the development across all aspects of the HPDM product line. This is not an ordinary internship- you will be given the full responsibility of a mechanical design engineer. The engineering team is intentionally small and operates at a very fast pace. A high degree of self-motivation and responsibility is required as you will be given significant freedom and will be directly responsible for your parts. We are looking to hire a full time intern with a focus on the Fall 2026 Semester for a minimum of 12 weeks, but open to extended periods as well based on candidate availability.
What you will do:
What we are looking for
Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar
GPA of 3.0 or higher
Hands-on experience assembling mechanical systems
SolidWorks proficient (or similar)
Excellent written and verbal communication
Exceptional understanding of fundamentals
Action biased, results-driven mentality
Willingness to learn quickly
Preferred Experience
Experience with manufacturing processes (machining, Metal AM, & composites)
Experience with producing 2D part drawings & GD&T
Experience with linear structural FEA
Why H3X
Joining H3X means working on hard, meaningful problems with a skunkworks-style team that's laser-focused on building exceptional products. We're deeply vertically integrated and have a very tight design-build-test loop, which lets us move from concept to hardware at unmatched speed. We've gone from idea to shipping product in less than two months.
We're a small, highly skilled team where everyone carries real responsibility and shares an extreme ownership mentality. We stay focused on the critical path, keep bureaucracy to a minimum, and structure everything around delivering results. You'll learn and grow faster here than you would anywhere else.
You'll work alongside world-class engineers and builders who are pioneering electric motor technology at scale on some of the coolest programs in the industry, from supersonic aircraft to power generation for AI datacenters. If you want your contributions to be visible and your work to directly shape American reindustrialization, you'll feel at home here.
