Mechanical Engineering Intern, Data Center Infrastructure

Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the worlds most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics advanced manufacturing or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.

We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor humility and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.

BUILT DIFFERENT

We believe theres a better way to build. One that moves faster thinks bigger and gives people the ownership to challenge whats been done before. Were not here to follow the standard. Were here to set a new one. We dont believe the best work happens inside rigid boxes. People are given real ownership real responsibility and the space to operate beyond a title. Scope grows with impact and responsibility grows with trust. And the people who step up help shape what comes next. Were building an organization around ownership where your influence is defined by what you take on. An internship at Hut 8 provides you with the opportunity to take on real work and drive real outcomes.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The infrastructure is ambitious. The people behind it should be too.

Were looking for a Mechanical Engineering intern who is curious asks why and wants to do real engineering work from day one. Youll 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.

WHAT YOULL TAKE ON

Learn it: Get hands-on with the mechanical systems behind a data center: chilled-water plants air-cooled and direct-liquid-cooling (DLC) systems piping and fire protection

Support it: Help our engineers with load calculations pipe and pump sizing equipment selections and P&ID and drawing markups with guidance and review from licensed PEs

See it built: Join site visits follow field issues from question to fix and watch a design turn into construction commissioning and startup

Challenge it: Ask hard questions about cost constructability and redundancy. Fresh eyes are an asset here and safety and reliability always come first

Own it: Take on a defined project of your own from first question to final recommendation and present it to the team at the end of your internship

WHAT YOU BRING

Currently enrolled in a bachelors or masters 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
