Vulcury Venture Studio and Advisors | Full time

Sales Engineer Intern (Mechanical Engineering)

We believe that the future of business is built on a foundation of innovation, strategy, and execution. That’s why we’ve developed two distinct yet complementary divisions:

Consulting Division

We provide strategic insights and tailored solutions that help businesses overcome challenges, scale operations, and seize market opportunities.

Venture Studio

Our studio transforms ideas into impactful startups by leveraging our expertise in ideation, incubation, and execution.

Together, these divisions allow Vulcury to tackle complex problems, create new opportunities, and make a meaningful impact on businesses and industries.

Job Description

This is a remote position.

Location: Remote (India or Southeast Asia preferred)

Duration:12 weeks

Company: Trustbridge (a venture of Vulcury LLC)

Internship Type: Full-time

About Trustbridge

Trustbridge is building a smarter way to get manufacturing work done.

We help companies with complex, custom part requirements—across aerospace, medical devices, automotive, industrial hardware, and startups—connect with the right manufacturing partners globally. Instead of traditional reps or generic marketplaces, we combine engineering judgment, supplier relationships, and technology to deliver faster, better sourcing outcomes.

Trustbridge is incubated by Vulcury, a U.S.-based venture studio founded by a former Deloitte strategy consultant and the ex-CEO of 3Diligent. While our core operations are U.S.-based, India and Southeast Asia are critical growth markets, and this internship plays a key role in building that expansion.

About the Internship

This is not a typical classroom-style internship.

As a Manufacturing Strategy & Supplier Development Intern, you’ll work hands‑on with real RFQs, technical drawings, and manufacturing suppliers. You’ll act as a bridge between customers, internal teams, and factories—helping ensure the right suppliers are matched to the right jobs.

If you enjoy understanding how parts are made, speaking with vendors about processes, tolerances, lead times, and pricing, and want exposure to how a manufacturing startup scales, this role is designed for you.

You’ll work closely with the CEO, Asia venture lead, and product team, and your work will directly impact live customer orders.

What You’ll Do

Review customer RFQs, technical drawings, and BOMs

Identify suitable suppliers based on manufacturing process, capability, and capacity

Speak directly with manufacturers (CNC, sheet metal, fabrication, casting, molding, etc.)

Assess supplier strengths, quality standards, lead times, and pricing logic

Support onboarding and vetting of new manufacturing partners

Asia Market Execution

Help execute Trustbridge’s manufacturing expansion strategy in India and Southeast Asia

Map regional manufacturing capabilities and cost structures

Build long‑term supplier relationships through consistent communication

Product & Operations Input

Identify real‑world pain points in RFQ review, quoting, and supplier coordination

Share structured feedback with product and design teams

Assist with setting up operational tools (CRM entries, RFQ tracking, supplier databases)

Communication & Coordination

Act as a coordination point between customers, suppliers, and internal teams

Communicate clearly with global stakeholders via calls and email

Support supplier outreach and partnership initiatives

What We Value

Bias for action — you follow up, push conversations forward, and close loops

Practical thinking — you balance engineering realities with business needs

Curiosity about how manufacturing businesses actually work

Requirements

Required

Mechanical Engineering background (graduate, final‑year student, or recent graduate)

Solid understanding of manufacturing processes (CNC machining, fabrication, casting, etc.)

Comfortable reading and interpreting technical drawings

Strong spoken and written English (supplier and internal calls are a key part of the role)

Willingness to take ownership and execute without excessive supervision

Preferred / Bonus

MBA student or recent MBA graduate

Prior exposure to manufacturing, sourcing, supply chain, or B2B sales

Experience interacting with vendors, factories, or machine shops

Interest in startups, marketplaces, and cross‑border manufacturing

Why This Internship Matters

Work on live customer RFQs, not simulations or case studies

Learn directly from experienced founders and operators

Gain exposure to global manufacturing sourcing and supplier strategy

Play a role in building Trustbridge’s long‑term Asia presence

Strong performance may lead to a full‑time or extended role
