Mechanical Engineering Intern, Data Center Infrastructure

Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world's most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. We're looking for a Mechanical Engineering intern who is curious, asks "why," and wants to do real engineering work from day one. You'll work side by side with our engineers on live data center projects, contribute to designs and calculations that actually get built, and leave with work you can point to. This role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida.

Responsibilities

Learn the mechanical systems behind a data center: chilled-water plants, air-cooled and direct-liquid-cooling (DLC) systems, piping, and fire protection; Help engineers with load calculations, pipe and pump sizing, equipment selections, and P&ID and drawing markups, with guidance and review from licensed PEs; Join site visits, follow field issues from question to fix, and watch a design turn into construction, commissioning, and startup; Ask hard questions about cost, constructability, and redundancy; Take on a defined project from first question to final recommendation, and present it to the team at the end of the internship

Requirements

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field, such as Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Architectural Engineering (mechanical/MEP), or Energy Systems Engineering with a thermal-fluids foundation; Graduating in December 2027 or June 2028 with an undergraduate or graduate degree; Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3; Coursework in thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, or HVAC; Real interest in critical cooling and data center infrastructure; Comfort with AutoCAD, MATLAB, or Python, and the ability to pick up new engineering software quickly; Track record of personal accountability, integrity, and respect for others, the company, and oneself; Exceptional interpersonal skills to support team cohesion and successful project execution; Strong written and verbal communication skills for working with diverse groups and individuals; Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities and multiple deadlines, while contributing to inclusive and cooperative teams; Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
