Propulsion Engineer Intern

Position Overview:
We are looking for a propulsion engineer intern to support engineering design, launch and test operations, and manufacturing.
Program Highlights:
Propulsion Integrated Design: The Propulsion Integrated Design team is responsible for the design, analysis, and development of engine integration hardware (the “glue” of the engine,) including primary and secondary structure, bellows, flex hoses, gimbals, manifolds, ducting, heatshield components, custom fittings, and more. In addition to component-level hardware, the team owns engine layout and packaging, turning the 2D fluids schematic into a 3D reality by determining where and how every component is located and mounted, while managing configuration, interfaces, mass properties, engine loads, and collaboration with partner teams through assembly and test. If you are a well-rounded mechanical engineer who wants to work across diverse hardware while getting deep experience in mechanical design, thermal/structural analysis, prototyping, benchtop testing, and iterative design/analysis/test cycles, you will fit in well on this team!
Turbomachinery: The Turbomachinery team designs and develops the turbopumps that power the Aeon Engine. As a member of the team, you'll work on activities such as building 1D throughflow and CFD models for fluid passages and rotating blading, creating CAD models and performing structural analysis (from hand calculations to finite element analysis), or evaluating turbopump performance through test data review and resolving hardware issues during engine test campaigns.
Combustion Devices: The Combustion Devices team designs and develops the combustion devices that power the Aeon Engine. Combustion devices are among the most thermally and structurally critical components in the engine, operating under extreme temperatures and pressures (made controlled fire). As a member of the team, you’ll work as a responsible engineer, with cradle-to-grave ownership of your hardware from design through manufacturing to test. The RE role provides technical ownership at the component level: you’ll gain experience coordinating across disciplines and direct accountability for hardware decisions.
Engine Systems & Test: On the Engine Systems & Test Team the company's work spans simulation & software tools; system-level architecture, requirements, and interfaces; component & integrated system hotfire testing. In the test part of your role, you will serve as a Responsible Engineer for Aeon engine test articles, developing test plans, executing them with the company's Stennis test team, and troubleshooting technical puzzles along the way. On the systems side, you may support engine system analysis and simulation, trade studies, and defining interfaces with other groups
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience applying engineering fundamentals in thermodynamics, thermal, structural, and/or fluids to solve real-world problems.
Hands-on experience manufacturing, integrating, or testing hardware.
Working knowledge of liquid-propellant rocket engines
Experience with design and analysis software
Qualifications:
Current undergraduate or graduate student earning your degree in a science, engineering, technology, or mathematics field
Strong engineering fundamentals in either fluid mechanics & thermodynamics, or structural design & analysis (not required to be proficient in all areas)
Clear evidence of ownership, problem-solving skills, and effective team collaboration from school or work experience
Excitement & ability to learn quickly
Compensation:
The compensation for this role is $34–42 per hour.
