Advanced Engineering Intern

Job Purpose

Electrifying the vehicles of tomorrow - does that speak to you?

At Dana TM4, we develop and manufacture state-of-the-art electric propulsion systems, including motors and inverters, for a wide range of applications. Our technologies are used by leading manufacturers in the industry and serve the light-duty and commercial vehicle markets, as well as recreational vehicles. Our solutions have even contributed to the development of key components used in Formula E.

Located in Boucherville, the TM4 division specializes in the design and development of electric motors and inverters, at the heart of transportation electrification. Within this division, the Advanced Engineering team is responsible for developing next-generation technologies, increasing their maturity, and integrating them into the products that will power the vehicles of tomorrow.

As a Mechanical Analysis Intern, you will play an active role within the Advanced Engineering team. You will contribute to the evaluation and development of new technologies, ensuring they meet the mechanical requirements of their intended applications.
In this role, you will perform structural, vibrational, and thermal analyses, and participate in validation testing activities. You will take part in technical discussions, contribute to solving real-world problems, and support continuous improvement initiatives in an innovation-driven environment.

Supervised by a team of eight dynamic and passionate engineers, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills while working on cutting-edge projects. You will directly contribute to the development of next-generation electric motors, whose performance rivals that of leading manufacturers in the industry, such as Lucid, Tesla, and many others.
