Descripción del empleo

Are you heading into your fourth year of engineering and keen to spend the summer doing real R&D work at the point where mechanical engineering meets AI? Caliber Design is offering a paid summer internship at our Christchurch office, and we would love you to apply.

About Caliber

Caliber Design is a Christchurch founded mechanical engineering consultancy with a team of 85+ engineers across Auckland, Waikato and Christchurch. Our engineers work embedded in client teams across New Zealand on everything from machine and product design to FEA and project engineering on large industrial sites, in industries including food production, aerospace, energy, medtech and manufacturing.

The internship

We are running an in-house R&D programme exploring how AI can make engineering design faster, more accurate and more reliable. This internship focuses on AI-assisted fabrication drawing preparation and checking.

Fabrication drawings need to be accurate and consistent every time. You will help develop and test AI-assisted methods for preparing and checking drawings: identifying common errors and omissions, building repeatable checking workflows, and measuring how well the tools perform against experienced engineers.

You will work alongside experienced Caliber engineers on genuine R&D, test ideas, document what works, and help shape how we use these tools in practice.
