About the role
Internship focusing on planning, development, and execution of flight operations and airworthiness activities for the Quarterhorse aircraft, with exposure to cross-functional teams and real-world airworthiness documentation for high-performance experimental aircraft.
Responsibilities
- Support the development of airworthiness, flight operations, and safety documentation for experimental aircraft operations.
- Assist in preparing professional technical deliverables for military and civil airworthiness packages.
- Support operational-risk analysis, including hazard identification, risk tracking, and management of operational constraints and mitigations.
- Apply engineering fundamentals and statistical methods to assess operational data, characterize risk, and support envelope an operational expansion.
- Collaborate with engineering, flight test, operations, and program teams to collect technical inputs and ensure airworthiness artifacts are accurate, complete, and traceable.
- Independently identify and effectively communicate gaps, inefficiencies, and upcoming needs in flight operations and airworthiness processes.
- Support longer-range planning by identifying work that advances programmatic milestones and airworthiness objectives well ahead of formal tasking.
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or graduate degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or a related STEM discipline.
- Undergraduate candidates should be in their junior or senior year of study; graduate students are also encouraged to apply.
