ARD designs and delivers production-quality accelerator modules for Meta's custom AI silicon (MTIA), covering board design, power delivery, thermal-mechanical design and module management hardware. As the team grows its in-house design and simulation capabilities, this intern will run the structural simulations that guide the mechanical design of our high-power, liquid-cooled modules. You'll work closely with mechanical, thermal, packaging and electrical engineers. ## Responsibilities Build, mesh and run structural FEA models in ANSYS of accelerator modules, PCBs and mechanical hardware such as stiffeners and cold plates. Simulate mounting and preload, assembly, gravity and handling loads to evaluate stress, strain and deflection against design criteria. Run warpage simulations at room and elevated temperatures for bare boards, populated boards and full assemblies. Run design-of-experiment and parametric studies (geometry, thickness, material) to support design trade-offs. Correlate simulation results with lab test data (e.g. shadow moiré, strain gauge) and refine models to improve accuracy. Document assumptions, boundary conditions and results in clear reports, and present findings and recommendations to the ARD team. ## Qualifications Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering Hands-on experience with ANSYS (Mechanical or Workbench) for structural FEA, through coursework, research or projects - Solid foundation in solid mechanics, strength of materials and material behavior - Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment Intent to return to full-time degree program after completion of the internship Experience with thermo-mechanical, warpage or composite/laminate (e.g. PCB) modeling Experience correlating simulation with physical test data Experience bringing ECAD/MCAD data into FEA models Familiarity with 3D CAD (Creo preferred SolidWorks acceptable) for geometry cleanup and simplification Scripting or automation experience (e.g. Python, APDL) for parametric studies or post-processing Strong analytical, technical writing and communication skills ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Not stated - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 25, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 1, 2026 - Listed for: 7 days - Location: Menlo Park, CA[Apply on Meta Platforms’s careers site →](https://www.metacareers.com/jobs/1600772061108369/) ## Hiring at Meta Platforms - Open jobs: 1,310 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Jul 11, 2026 [All Meta Platforms jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Meta Platforms ### [Component Quality Engineer, Thermal and Mechanical](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/637696e000c4266eea93/) Menlo Park, CA ### [AI Research Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/2ce2068cd9fcf1053dc1/) Menlo Park, CA ### [AI Research Manager - Meta Superintelligence Labs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/2b9038fb99fde6a938ed/) Menlo Park, CA ### [AI Research Scientist - FAIR, MSL](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/bb3308d76ff6faee2fc3/) Menlo Park, CA ### [AI Research Scientist - MSL FAIR Foundations](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/d18ce9293309ea34ebd4/) Menlo Park, CA ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Mechanical Design Engineering Intern](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/cebe7fe847dfc4f8b216/) Lockheed Martin · Orlando, FL ### [Mechanical Design Engineering Intern](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/828237a36f67a365875b/) Lockheed Martin · Grand Prairie, TX ### [Mechanical Engineering Specialist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/eaton/jobs/b6a510f3c54d06a095e0/) Eaton · Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA ### [Co-op Student, Mechanical Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nutrien/jobs/6618e1cc92918e9eb3df/) Nutrien · Aurora, NC, USA ### [Mechanical Engineering Intern - Summer 2027](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/e69bf478be04fb7d0964/) BAE Systems · Maple Grove, Minnesota, United States OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
