TL;DR · Graduate Engineer Internship/Co-op

As a Summer 2027 Graduate Engineer, you will join various engineering teams across design, manufacturing, and operations to develop creative solutions for complex aerospace challenges. Rather than a traditional internship, this role provides significant responsibility comparable to full-time engineers as you contribute to critical projects in the aerospace sector. You will work within an integrated collaborative team environment, interacting frequently with technicians, managers, and other engineers to meet changing requirements. The role involves technical problem-solving related to vehicle programs like Dragon, Falcon, and Starship, or satellite and AI initiatives such as Starlink, Starshield, and SpaceXAI. Candidates must possess a degree in engineering, physics, or math, along with demonstrated experience in laboratory work, research, or project teams. Required skills include the ability to function effectively in dynamic professional settings while addressing technical aerospace problems.

What you'll do

  • Develop creative solutions to complex aerospace engineering challenges.
  • Perform technical tasks across design, manufacturing, and operations teams.
  • Execute responsibilities equivalent to those of full-time engineers.
  • Apply academic knowledge to practical aerospace projects and hardware.
  • Adapt to changing requirements in a fast-paced, dynamic professional environment.
  • Support the development of spacecraft, launch vehicles, or satellite systems.

What we're looking for

  • Must have at least 6 months of applied engineering experience from internships, labs, or projects.
  • Must be enrolled in a graduate program by the start of employment and hold a bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or math.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.
  • GPA of 3.5 or above (preferred).
  • 9+ months of experience applying technical skills outside of the classroom (preferred).
  • Ability to work in an integrated collaborative team environment (preferred).
  • Ability to work effectively in a dynamic professional setting with changing requirements (preferred).
  • Must be able to work full-time, on-site for at least 12 consecutive weeks starting in May or June 2027.
