Mechanical Engineering

Empower Your Future: At MetOx International, we’re pioneering the next era of energy security and abundance through breakthrough superconducting technology. As a Mechanical Engineering Intern, you’ll join a dynamic team committed to strengthening the world’s energy systems to make them more resilient, efficient, and reliable.

Based at our global headquarters in Houston, TX, the Mechanical Engineering Co-Op/Intern will support the design, development, and testing of mechanical systems and equipment that enable advanced manufacturing and product development at MetOx. Working closely with experienced engineers, this role provides hands-on exposure to engineering design, data analysis, and problem-solving in a fast-paced technical environment. This position will contribute to active engineering projects while gaining practical experience in mechanical design, equipment development, and cross-functional collaboration within a cutting-edge materials and manufacturing environment. This position reports to the Manager of Mechanical Engineering.

This position is part of MetOx’s 2027 Co-Op/Intern Program. Candidates may be considered for one of two options:

• Internship: Part-time during the school year (Spring 2027) and full-time during Summer 2027.
• Co-Op: Full-time from January through August 2027. Non-local candidates selected for the full-time co-op may be eligible for a monthly stipend to help offset living expenses during the co-op period.
