Job Description

Who We Are

Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.

We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation, more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it.

You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

About the Role

As a Product Design Mechanical Engineer Intern at Verkada, you’ll contribute to the design and development of new cameras, access control systems, sensors, and other enterprise IoT products. Verkada’s PD engineers own all aspects of the mechanical design from prototype to mass production. You will make a big impact – your designs will be a part of Verkada's future products. This is a full-time internship, in-person role based in our San Mateo, CA office.

What You'll Do

  • Take ownership of products from concept to mass production.
  • Join a small, fast-paced team where you will make key design decisions and make a major impact on our future products.
  • Prototype and analyze mechanical systems for solutions to product requirements that are relevant to enterprise hardware (e.g., mounting, sealing, environmental resistance, thermal performance, tamper resistance, etc.).
  • Learn what it takes to ship products and collaborate with a cross-functional team (i.e., Electrical Engineers and Industrial Designers).
  • Design parts for mass-manufacturing, including dialing in DFM/DFA, leading validation testing, steering overseas vendor collaboration, and learning about tooling bring-up & part inspection.

What You'll Bring

  • Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields.
  • Available for a Fall 2026 Co-Op, preferably for an extended term (4-8 months).
  • Strong understanding & intuition of strength of materials, thermodynamics, and manufacturing.
  • Experience with 3D CAD software.
