Hardware Test/Mechanical Engineer Intern Astera Labs · San Jose, CA · Internship · On-site About Astera Labs Astera Labs builds connectivity solutions and software that help power modern AI infrastructure. Our Hardware Engineering teams develop and support the boards, modules, test platforms, and validation systems that enable high-performance connectivity products. The opportunity Join the Hardware Engineering team and work at the intersection of mechanical design, hardware testing, and product validation. You’ll help develop and evaluate the mechanical parts, fixtures, enclosures, and test setups that support board bring-up, engineering development, manufacturing, and validation across Astera Labs’ product lines. This internship is designed for someone who enjoys learning by doing: understanding a product requirement, reviewing a board or mechanical design, building or modifying hardware, running a fit or airflow check, investigating the result, and improving the design or test setup. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and collaborate across mechanical, electrical, validation, NPI, manufacturing test, and lab teams. What you’ll do Support the design and documentation of mechanical parts for engineering boards, validation vehicles, cable modules, and test platforms. Review mechanical requirements from product specifications, board files, drawings, and related design inputs. Participate in layout placement and mechanical reviews covering board outlines and dimensions, mounting holes, cutouts, slots, keep-outs, component spacing, package and heatsink zones, and other mechanical interfaces. Create or update mechanical CAD models, drawings, and release files such as STEP and DXF files under engineering guidance. Help develop and improve backplates, baseplates, airboxes, chassis enclosures, mounting fixtures, and other hardware used to test and support Astera Labs products. Build or coordinate prototypes using 3D printing, sheet metal, machining, or other fabri…
