Propulsion Engineering Intern

Required

• Astro Mechanica is seeking an intern to join our Propulsion Engineering Team for the summer of 2027 (program begins on June 7, 2027 for semester schools and June 27, 2027 for quarter schools). The ideal candidate is someone who wants to take ownership of real hardware, from concept through test, and is eager to understand how their work affects surrounding systems. You approach technical challenges from first principles. As an intern, you’ll be embedded with the propulsion team in San Francisco, working on real projects alongside full-time engineers, and your work will have a direct impact on the configuration and performance of the DualityTM engine.
• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline
• Club, project, or research-level hands-on experience with fluidic, mechanical, or propulsion systems
• Experience with solid, surface, and sheet metal CAD modeling (Siemens NX preferred)
• Exposure to manufacturing processes, precision measurement, and GD&T
• Coursework or experience in heat transfer, thermodynamics, and turbomachinery
• Exposure to data acquisition, instrumentation, and power electronics
• Desire for continuous improvement
• Flexibility to work in a fast-paced environment
• Attentive to detail and committed to a high level of quality in all work
• Available for a full-time, in-person internship in San Francisco during Summer 2027 (approximately 10–12 weeks)
