Mechanical Engineering Internship

Mechanical Engineering Internship at Aquablu

Who are we?

Here at Aquablu, we're leading the charge for the new wave in water. With our smart water dispenser, the REFILL+, we provide functional flavored water with added vitamins and minerals - still, sparkling, and chilled, of course - without the excess plastic. We're fearless and ambitious, and although we're a young Amsterdam scale-up with tech at our core, we're already up there with the big names in businesses and hotels throughout Europe.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with senior engineers to improve existing products and support the development of new mechanical systems and water purification technologies.
• Lead technical analyses and feasibility studies on new engineering concepts, materials, and mechanisms.
• Execute end-to-end design work: from CAD modeling and simulation to prototyping and functional testing.
• Research emerging technologies and materials relevant to our hardware roadmap.
• Take ownership of time-intensive, detail-oriented tasks that are crucial to project success.

Who You Are

• You are currently enrolled in a university program and pursuing the final phase of a Master’s (or final-year Bachelor’s) degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• You’re proactive, hands-on, and thrive in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.
• You’re fluent in English; Dutch is a plus.
• You are already based in the Netherlands—preferably in or near Amsterdam—and available full-time for 6 months.

Preferred Experience & Skills

• Solid experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar).
• Exposure to fluid dynamics, hydraulics, electronics integration, or complex mechanical systems.
• Experience working on engineering projects that went beyond the classroom; whether through personal projects, research, or internships.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail in testing and validation work.
