Greetings from Frigate Engineering Services Pvt Ltd ,Trichy

As an intern you will directly report to Founder CEO

Frigate is a manufacturing execution platform connecting global buyers with Indian manufacturers, across machining, sheet metal, casting, and electronics. This role is a recent build, not a slot in an existing team.

About the role

Frigate is developing a containerized BESS product from the ground up, and youll own the New Product Development work on it end to end, working directly with the Founder CEO. This isnt a shadow internship. Youre responsible for real deliverables - mechanical layout, vendor coordination, BOM, and prototype build - on a live product, not a training exercise.

What youll work on

- Container/enclosure design: structural layout, weatherproofing, thermal management, rack mounting for battery modules
- Electrical systems integration: battery rack layout, BMS/PCS coordination, cabling and switchgear specification
- Thermal and fire safety: cooling system specification and safety-standard research (IEC/UL/BIS/CEA as applicable) - for a product category where getting this wrong isnt an option
- Vendor coordination: work directly with Frigates fabrication, sheet metal, and electrical vendor network to source components and sub-assemblies
- BOM and costing: build and maintain a full bill of materials with vendor quotes
- Documentation: technical specs, design-review notes, DFM considerations




- Prototype build coordination and test planning

What we need

- Final-year student or recent graduate - Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Energy Engineering
- Working CAD skills (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / AutoCAD)
- Basic grounding in electrical/power systems, or the ability to pick it up fast
- Comfortable owning ambiguity and driving a workstream between check-ins - this is a 0-to-1 build, not a task list
- Based in or willing to relocate to Trichy

Strong plus

- Prior exposure to battery systems, EV powertrains, or renewable energy (academic projects, EV competitions like SAE/Formula Student, prior internships)
- Any hands-on fabrication, prototyping, or vendor-facing experience

What you get

- Direct, regular working access to the Founder CEO, not a manager three levels down
- Ownership of a real product from concept, not observation
- Exposure to Frigates full vendor network across machining, sheet metal, casting, and electrical - a view very few interns get this early
- Strong performers will be considered for a full-time NPD role
- Location: Trichy, in-person

- Duration: 6 months
- Stipend: as per Frigate norms
