Prototype Engineer – Clean-Tech Desalination – Internship (WFH & Part Time)
Archmedis has advertised a part-time, work-from-home Prototype Engineer internship focused on clean-tech desalination. The two-month assignment involves mechanical design, fabrication and physical prototype testing. It is suitable for applicants who already have relevant engineering and hands-on prototyping skills, rather than applicants expecting a software-only remote internship.
The employer-posted Internshala listing records 30 October 2026 as its posting date and 29 November 2026 as the application deadline. It advertises one opening. The full listing and its Apply now route were accessible when checked on 30 October. The source identifies India as the applicant location for this remote opening; the advertiser's Abu Dhabi location should not be mistaken for a requirement to relocate there.

What the work involves
The startup describes developing offshore solar desalination farms that use sunlight and seawater to produce freshwater. The internship is tied to building and testing that technology with the founder. The listing describes an early-stage team and values experimentation, execution and ownership. These are employer descriptions, not an independent assessment of the technology or its commercial success.
- Design mechanical components and assemblies in SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or equivalent CAD software.
- Fabricate, assemble and refine physical prototypes using 3D printing and hands-on manufacturing methods.
- Test prototypes, troubleshoot technical problems and revise designs using experimental results.
- Own assigned tasks from design through physical testing and keep the work moving toward agreed delivery dates.
- Share daily progress, next steps and potential delays, raise roadblocks early and involve the founder in important technical decisions.
Although the listing is work from home, it explicitly requires access to physical fabrication equipment. Remote here describes the work arrangement; it does not remove the requirement to build and test prototypes. Before accepting, candidates should clarify equipment arrangements, materials, any associated costs, delivery logistics and supervision. The notice does not state that the employer will supply a printer or reimburse these expenses.
Who can apply
Applicants must be pursuing or have completed a degree in mechanical engineering or mechatronics engineering. The employer requires exceptional CAD ability, preferably with SolidWorks or Fusion 360, supported by demonstrated experience designing complex mechanical assemblies.
Reliable access to a 3D printer is mandatory. The source permits access through college, personal ownership or friends, provided the candidate can independently fabricate and assemble prototypes. It also requires hands-on experience in mechanical fabrication, rapid prototyping and troubleshooting physical systems. Experience with fluid or thermal systems is a plus, rather than an essential condition.
The candidate should be self-driven, resourceful and willing to experiment, learn from failures, communicate progress daily and seek support proactively. The listed skills include 3D printing, ANSYS, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, CATIA, SolidWorks, rapid prototyping, problem solving, creative thinking and critical thinking. No graduation batch or minimum number of professional-experience years is specified. Women starting or restarting their careers are also welcomed, subject to the same technical conditions.
Applicants must be available for two months and able to start between 30 October and 4 December 2026. Applications still need to be submitted by 29 November; the later end of the joining window is not an extension of the application deadline. Daily working hours and a detailed interview process are not disclosed.
Stipend and perks
The headline range is ₹12,000–15,000 per month, but the detailed breakdown is more important: fixed pay of ₹9,000–10,000 and incentive pay of ₹3,000–5,000 per month. The incentive component is variable and should not be treated as guaranteed fixed monthly income. Confirm the performance conditions, calculation and payment schedule in the written offer.
The listing advertises a certificate, a letter of recommendation and flexible work hours. It does not advertise a guaranteed permanent job. Flexible hours also do not remove the stated expectation of daily communication and ownership of technical work.

Jobsii preparation suggestion: choose a mechanical assembly you can explain from design decisions through fabrication, testing and a revision. This is preparation advice, not an additional mandatory portfolio or unpaid assignment. The source does not specify an application fee or a closing-hour timezone. Recheck the original listing before applying because availability and terms may change.
