Mechanical Engineering Intern - Field Operations

About SynnefaSynnefa builds technology that makes farming simpler and more profitable for African farmers. Our Smart Solar Dryers and greenhouses combine solid engineering with IoT monitoring, so farmers cut post-harvest losses, dry to a consistent quality, and reach better-paying markets. We work with cooperatives, processors, exporters, county governments and development partners across Kenya, Uganda and Ghana.Making complex farming simple.The rolePost-harvest losses cost African farmers a share of everything they grow. That is an engineering problem, and it is the problem this role exists to work on.We are looking for a recent mechanical engineering graduate to join our hardware team on a six-month internship. You will help standardise our Smart Solar Dryer product line: the drawings, the bills of quantities, the quality control and the field performance data that every deployment depends on.We are a small, fast paced, innovative team. What we design is fabricated, installed and judged in the field within weeks, not years. You will spend real time on site in places like Kericho, Nyandarua, Makueni and Kisumu, and your work will directly determine whether what we install performs for the farmer.If you want your engineering to be used rather than filed, this is that role.What you will do- Prepare and maintain engineering drawings for our standard product range, under proper version control- Document drying chambers, airflow paths, ventilation, and fan and component selection- Instrument installed dryers and collect temperature, humidity and airflow data, then tabulate and present it clearly- Detail drying beds, racks and materials handling arrangements- Support...
