About The Role
Join TAI’s Mechanical Engineering division for a hands-on summer internship where you won’t just be watching from the sidelines; you’ll be an active contributor to complex design projects for laboratories, data centers, and mission-critical facilities. Working directly alongside experienced mentors, you will bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world application by performing thermal load calculations, specifying high-grade equipment, and transforming field survey data into precise CAD and Revit construction documents. This is a high-impact opportunity to immerse yourself in the full lifecycle of mechanical systems, from initial technical studies to the final details of HVAC and plumbing design.
