The Configuration Design Team is responsible for the design and integration of external engine hardware that supports the routing, packaging, and installation of mechanical components carrying fluids and electrical signals. This includes components and assemblies such as tubes, brackets, clamps, harness supports, and related external hardware that enable safe, reliable, and maintainable engine operation.
As an Engineering Intern, you will support the team in developing and improving design solutions for external hardware systems. You will work with experienced engineers to help create, revise, and validate designs, drawings, and product definitions while considering functionality, manufacturability, serviceability, and installation requirements.
In this role, you may:
- Support design and drafting activities for external mechanical hardware and routing systems
- Assist with CAD modeling, drawing updates, and product definition changes
- Help evaluate packaging, interface, and fit-up requirements for components carrying fluids and electrical signals
- Participate in design reviews and cross-functional discussions with systems, manufacturing, quality, and assembly teams
- Assist with issue resolution, root cause investigations, and implementation of design improvements
- Contribute to standard work, lessons learned, and continuous improvement activities
- Support validation of designs against technical requirements, safety, quality, and producibility expectations
This internship offers an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in aerospace mechanical design, cross-functional engineering teamwork, and product configuration management within a fast-paced technical environment.
