Typical Opportunities:

Engineering Internship – Structures

This internship position is for a smart young engineer that wants to learn about general aviation alterations, repairs and modifications. By the end of the internship, you will learn engineering for aircraft repairs; fabrication methods of aircraft modification and replacement parts; and gain skills in aircraft detail design, drawing data creation, analysis, and FAA compliance methods. We expect the following:

• Strong analytical skills using conservative methods. Strong grasp of stress and strain including statics, dynamics, solids, strength of materials, energy methods, and the ability to effectively organize calculations. Free Body Diagrams that match calculations are important.
• Design work including optimized structures and mechanical systems for aircraft. Sketching/Drafting – Must be able to effectively draw/sketch parts of aircraft for incorporation into drawings later. Use of AutoCAD 2D for drafting. Solid modeling beneficial. Applicant may perform some prototyping or assembly and should be competent around metal working tools.
• Technical Editing of Engineering documents using MS Word or Open Office. Should have thorough knowledge of Word, Excel, and Photoshop. Tasks include adding figures into documents, scanning figures, incorporating red lines, and editing engineering reports for grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
• Completed Junior Year in Aerospace, Mechanical, or similar Engineering Degree at an Accredited University.

To apply, please send us a resume or CV with ALL work history, cover letter, and a sample of a quick engineering sketch with “internship” in the header. If you don’t have one, sketch a stapler. Please name file attachments intelligently.
