Full job description

Build relationships. Be part of history. Have an impact…

We are a hypersonic transportation company focused on doing what people once thought was impossible. And, we have a place for you if you want to be part of hypersonic history.

We're looking for intern candidates with relevant academic, project, research, or hands-on experience in one or more of the following disciplines:

• Structures Engineering (Vehicle Engineering & Design)

• Manufacturing Engineering

• Software Engineering

• Business Strategy & Operations

As an intern, you will work closely with your mentor, experienced engineers, and other teammates who will help you apply your knowledge and grow your skills on projects that have a significant impact.

What You Have:

• Must be able to meet U.S. Government space technology regulations, including ITAR.

• Ability to be onsite with us in Houston, TX.

• Cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program and have at least one semester of school remaining after the internship.

• Available to work full time for a minimum of 11 weeks and start in either May or June.

• Strong written, verbal, communication, and interpersonal skills – we work in a highly collaborative environment.

• Aerospace experience is not required - we are looking for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who enjoy solving tough problems and want to make an impact in hypersonic travel.

• Must be at least a rising junior (entering the third year of undergraduate study) by the start of the summer internship program.

What Will Set You Apart:

• Relevant engineering internship/co-op and academic project experience that demonstrate development of both technical skills as well as leadership qualities.

• Relevant academic, hands-on project experience.

• Passion for hypersonic travel.

Even if you have skill sets and experience that are outside of our current needs, we encourage you to apply. If you’ve demonstrated a commitment to academic success and motivation to apply your knowledge outside of the classroom, we may have a future opportunity for you!

Salary will be within the range of $26/hour to $30/hour and based on current class standing and program i.e. junior, senior, undergraduate, master's, etc.

Location:

This internship is based on-site at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas.
