Top Engineering Jobs

Systems Engineering Intern supporting solid rocket motor design, development, manufacturing, and testing. Responsibilities include developing requirements, planning verification and validation, maintaining traceability, conducting reliability and failure-mode analyses, mitigating risks, modeling subsystem data flows, and improving engineering processes and tools. The role collaborates across disciplines and requires initiative, communication skills, and familiarity with systems engineering principles. Experience with solid rocket motors, MBSE, DOORS, or Jama is preferred.

Supports analysis, design, and optimization of aerospace manufacturing processes to improve safety, quality, productivity, capacity, and cost. Responsibilities include factory and line simulation, capacity modeling, production scenario analysis, CAD plant layout updates, standard work documentation, data collection, work instruction updates, and tooling or fixture design. The intern collaborates with shop-floor, planning, engineering, and manufacturing teams.

Develop, test, and deploy real-time embedded flight software for rocket engine controllers and airborne or spaceborne platforms. Write reliable C/C++ code, implement hardware communication drivers, create automated and hardware-in-the-loop tests, and debug hardware-software integration issues. Participate in design reviews, static analysis, and technical documentation while working with microcontrollers, flight-critical systems, and aerospace engineering teams.

Supports IT infrastructure automation by identifying repetitive processes and implementing reliable workflows with Terraform, scripting, APIs, and Infrastructure as Code. Develops reusable Terraform modules, automates service desk and IT operations, manages cloud and access processes, and applies version control, testing, documentation, and change management. Troubleshoots existing automation and partners with IT staff to translate business processes into technical solutions while assisting with IT operations and projects.

Supports aerospace propulsion design, development, manufacturing, testing, and production within the Combustion Devices team. Applies mechanical and fluid-based first-principles analysis, participates in hands-on design-build-test projects, collaborates with engineering teams, and develops technical skills in a fast-moving defense environment.

Summer intern supporting hypersonic vehicle design, analysis, integration, and testing. Responsibilities include developing hypersonic structures, liquid propulsion systems, propellant-management devices, tooling, fixtures, and ground-support equipment; performing structural and fluids analysis; creating manufacturing and systems-integration workflows; and conducting subcomponent acceptance tests.

Develop reliable software for digital manufacturing systems supporting rocket engine design, testing, and production. Responsibilities include automated testing, CI/CD and GitOps practices, task planning, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration. The role requires Python, SQL, a statically typed compiled language, data modeling, Linux, shell scripting, and container-based development. Preferred experience includes advanced education, technical software development, API and queue integrations, and frontend web development.

Support mechanical design, drafting, geometric tolerancing, analysis, assembly, testing, and production of rocket motor cases, nozzles, tooling, and development hardware. Responsibilities include 3D modeling, design documentation, design reviews, hand calculations, FEA, inert component assembly, and static fire test support. This full-time, on-site internship provides hands-on experience across the design-build-test lifecycle in aerospace propulsion.

Supports materials characterization, microscopy, mechanical testing, process trials, and failure investigations for rocket engines and propulsion systems. Performs lab sample preparation, data collection, basic analysis, technical documentation, and equipment upkeep while collaborating with design, manufacturing, and test engineers. The internship provides hands-on experience with aerospace hardware and prepares students for Materials & Processes Engineer roles.

Supports machining manufacturing engineering activities across manufacturing, assembly, and production. Responsibilities include hands-on build and machining work, mechanical root cause analysis, production equipment and CAD/CAM application, and collaboration with engineering teams to solve manufacturing problems and improve technical processes.
