Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.\nAbout the Program: \nJoin Wing's 12-week paid summer internship! This is a hybrid, in-person program based in Palo Alto, CA, with start dates in May or June. Eligible candidates must be a current student enrolled in a degree program and intend to return to the program after the completion of the summer internship. \nAbout the Role:\nWing is looking for a Mechanical EngineeringIntern to join our Mechanical Engineer Team based in Palo Alto, CA. \nOur team develops the hardware in the air and on the ground that enables Wing to operate efficiently at scale. We will be advancing next-generation iterations across our aircraft portfolio, and this intern will directly assist with those projects across all phases of the design cycle-from initial prototyping to final release to manufacturing. This internship is your chance to make an impact on the exciting future of drone delivery. As a Mechanical Engineering intern, you’ll take ownership of a project, design components, solve problems, work cross-functionally and collaboratively, and bring your unique perspective to the team.\nIn this role, you will:\nContribute to aircraft design across all phases of the design cycle, from initial concept to final release.\nBrainstorm creative solutions and perform rapid prototyping to test and iterate on mechanical components and systems.\nExecute detailed product design in CAD for manufacturing-ready parts.\nConduct thorough engineering analysis, utilizing hand calculations and FEA to ensure designs are robust and flight-ready.\nDevelop and execute comprehensive test plans to rigorously validate mechanical and mechatronic assemblies.\nUtilize additive manufacturing & 3D printing for rapid design iteration and functional prototyping.\nGain hands-on lab & build experience by assembling hardware and prototype builds in the lab environment.\nIntegrate and evaluate mechatronics and electromechanical systems including actuators, motors, and sensors.\nPerform environmental & reliability testing (e.g., drop, vibration, and thermal testing) to validate hardware design integrity.\nDocument analysis, generate test reports, and present design choices and findings to key stakeholders.\nCollaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Electrical, UX) and external vendors to deliver simple, elegant solutions.\nWhat You’ll Need: \nCurrently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related field (graduating between Dec 2027 - Aug 2028).\nExperience in mechanical design, rapid prototyping, CAD, and FEA for mechanical components.\nUnderstanding of common manufacturing methods, particularly plastic injection molding.\nAbility to develop and execute test plans to validate mechanical designs.\nExperience with additive manufacturing technologies.\nDemonstrated hands-on lab & build experience.\nFamiliarity with mechatronics and electromechanical systems (e.g., actuators, motors, or sensors).\nKnowledge of environmental & reliability testing methodologies (such as drop testing, vibration, or thermal testing).\nStrong communication skills to present findings and justify design choices to stakeholders.\nEager to learn, highly resourceful, and possesses a proactive, self-starter attitude with a strong drive to figure things out and get the job done.\nThe US base salary range for this internship position is the salary range below + benefits.
