• Coordinate with Japanese machine shops and contract manufacturers; translate Boston/UK designs to local standards; support component validation.
• Apply DfM/DfA and maintain technical documentation — specs, drawings, assembly and maintenance instructions.
• General hands-on technical work: wiring, assembling, cleaning, plugging light leaks, deburring, small fabrication fixes. We are a startup.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor or comparable 3D CAD, with willingness to work primarily in Inventor.
• Experience designing precision mechanical systems; strong grasp of structural mechanics, tolerancing, materials, manufacturing, and thermal management.
• Hands-on prototyping and lab experience; comfort with shop tools, benchwork, and installing your own designs.
• Professional English and Japanese, including “mechanical engineer” Japanese for specifications and supplier communication.

Preferred Qualifications

• Scientific instrumentation, precision optics, opto-mechanical design; experience with optics, lasers, and laser safety.
• Thermal management and liquid cooling; power electronics; GD&T; PDM/PLM (Autodesk Vault preferred).

Job's mission

Each product line of XP8 DCM and JQCM has a complex building‑block structure that supports advanced process technologies. The intern will involve a cross‑functional review of the electrical wiring diagrams and building‑block structures for both product lines, analyzing and identifying design redundancies and common elements. Through this activity, the intern will aim to gain a deep understanding of the process module configuration of DCM and JQCM. Finally, based on the elements identified as candidates for commonality, the intern will propose standardization ideas that can contribute to improved design efficiency, cost reduction, and shorter development lead time.

What you will be working on

XP8 DCM and JQCM are composed of complex building‑block structures (BOMs). In this internship, the intern will systematically break down these complex BOMs and electrical wiring diagrams, reviewing and learning the commonalities and differences across product lines. The analysis approach begins with the high‑cost layers that are widely used across the XP8 DCM and JQCM product portfolios. Next, as part of the compatibility assessment, the intern will examine component‑level differences and determine whether functionally compatible alternatives exist. All components will be categorized into “Common” and “Functional Equivalent” groups, and the intern will redefine the component structure from this perspective. As part of design and development validation, the intern will work with related departments to reassess the technical rationale for the current differences. For manufacturing and procurement optimization, the intern will collaborate with FEMS ME to explore improvements to kit structures. The ultimate objective is to identify concrete and actionable cost‑reduction measures through standardization that can be applied across the entire XP8 DCM and JQCM product lines.

What we are looking fo

The ideal candidates for this internship are students in electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, or other related engineering fields. A bachelor’s‑level academic background provides sufficient technical preparation to carry out the responsibilities associated with this project.

The intern will undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the Building Block Structure associated with the XP8 DCM product line, with the objective of attaining an in‑depth understanding of the configuration framework governing DCM process modules. Following this evaluation, the intern will delineate the common components and the specification variances across the various applications. Ultimately, the intern will conduct a structural analysis of each application and develop a detailed report outlining the principal design considerations.

What you will be working on

The intern will perform a structured review of the multi‑tiered Bill of Materials (BOM) for the DCM tool. The analysis will commence with the identification of components that are universally employed across the DCM product portfolio. Subsequently, the intern will assess component‑level differences to determine whether functionally interchangeable alternatives exist.
Upon completion of the classification of components into common, functionally equivalent, and application‑specific categories, the intern will collaborate with relevant stakeholder groups (including, but not limited to, the Process Development Team) to evaluate the rationale for such variations and to consider the implications of applying these variations uniformly across all applications.
The overarching objective of this project is to formulate viable recommendations for standardization.

What we are looking for

This project is ideally suited for interns majoring in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or other engineering disciplines.  A bachelor’s‑level academic background provides adequate technical preparation to execute the responsibilities associated with this project.
