About the Role
Our Summer Internship Program is designed to provide students with an immersive and dynamic experience, offering a taste of what it's like to be part of our professional team. Interns will work hands-on with cutting-edge technology, contribute to meaningful projects, build relationships, and develop problem-solving skills. This highly selective program ensures personalized attention and ample opportunities to work closely with AV team members. As an Aeromechanical Engineering Intern, you will support the development of systems for military and commercial applications, working closely with experienced engineers as part of an Integrated Product Team (IPT). You will gain hands-on experience in the design, prototyping, and testing of mechanical systems for aerial platforms, applying academic knowledge to real aerospace engineering challenges from concept through prototyping in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.
