Summer 2027 Engineering Internship, Aerospace

About Mach Industries

Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms.

The Role

This is a paid, in-person, 12-week internship. Depending on your background and team placement, you might work on:

• Flight Sciences: aerodynamics, performance, stability & control, trajectory analysis, and modeling for next-generation aerospace systems.
• Flight Test Operations: planning and executing flight tests, developing test cards and procedures, analyzing flight data, and supporting safe and effective test operations.
• Vehicle Design: aerodynamic, structural, thermal, and mechanical design of aircraft and aerospace vehicles.
• Propulsion & Aerothermal Systems: propulsion integration, thermal management, combustion, and performance analysis for advanced aerospace platforms.
• Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC): guidance algorithms, flight control, navigation, state estimation, and trajectory planning for autonomous and crewed systems.
• Systems Integration: integrating airframe, propulsion, avionics, GNC, software, and other subsystems into a complete flight vehicle.
• Modeling & Simulation: high-fidelity vehicle models, 6-DOF simulations, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and tools for predicting and validating system performance.
• Test & Analysis: developing test plans, instrumentation, analyzing flight and ground-test data, and using results to improve vehicle design and performance.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Enrollment in a BS, MS, or PhD program in aerospace or a related engineering discipline.
• Intellectual curiosity and the drive to own problems end-to-end.
• Genuine interest in defense technology, national security, or the future of autonomous systems.
• Ability to complete an in-person 12-week internship in one of our offices in summer 2027.
• Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
