What You Can Look Forward To:


Energy Recovery, Inc. is seeking a qualified candidate for an immediate summer internship opening with the Product and Sustaining team in the San Leandro, CA facility. You will work with the Product & Sustaining Engineering team, the group that owns our product lines after initial launch. Under the mentorship of senior engineers you will touch every part of the product life-cycle, documentation, design updates, failure analysis, and factory support—while building real-world skills that classrooms do not teach.

What Will You Do?

  • Build New-Product-Introduction (NPI) document packages-curves, Technical Data Sheets, specifications, IOM manuals, and spare-parts lists-for upcoming product releases. 
  • Support failure analysis by gathering data and assisting with preliminary root-cause investigations on returned units. 
  • Update BOMs, drawings, and CAD models in our system and make sure released data is clean and complete. 
  • Review NCMR and manufacturing-deviation reports; capture go/no-go tolerances that help Quality decide if a part can ship. 
  • Assist with test-loop preparation and data logging for factory acceptance tests of new designs. 

What You Bring to the Table:

  • Enrolled in a BS program in Mechanical Engineering (or similar) with at least two years completed.
  • Coursework or project experience with SolidWorks or Onshape
  • Familiarity with basic mechanics of materials and fluid dynamics; FEA or CFD classwork
  • Familiarity with use of a commercial FEA tool such as ANSYS for structural analysis.
  • Detail-oriented, eager to learn, and comfortable asking questions.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.


We are an EOE/AA employer committed to workforce diversity.
No recruiters or phone calls.
