Propulsion Performance Engineering Intern - Bohemia, NY - Summer 2027

Employer description

Job Description Summary

Job DescriptionInnoveering, a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Aerospace, is a dynamic engineering development company with exciting projects and product development in the aerospace and defense sector. Primary focus is on developing advanced, high-speed propulsion engines to support the Department of Defense Modernization Priorities. Our customers and partners include the U.S. Government and major aerospace prime weapons systems companies.

In this role, you will collaborate with other engineers to assess high speed propulsion system component and harsh environment sensor performance. To accomplish the given tasks, you must be familiar with compressible flow, thermodynamics, a scripting language such as MATLAB, Python, or C++, data acquisition systems and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team, whether it is to describe modeling efforts or to discuss project progress.

Responsibilities

Support engineering analyses related to propulsion system performance, including airflow, pressure, temperature, and thrust-related behaviorAssist with evaluation of high-speed flow phenomena in propulsion components and systemsHelp develop, run, and interpret performance models, simulations, and engineering calculationsAnalyze test or simulation data to assess engine or component performance against requirements and expectationsSupport studies involving compressible flow, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, gas path performance, fluid systems and control strategies.Collaborate with design, systems, aerodynamics, and test teams to investigate performance trends and technical issuesContribute to validation and correlation efforts between analytical predictions, computational models, and test resultsPrepare technical summaries, charts, reports, and presentations to communicate findingsDocument assumptions, methods, results, and recommendations for engineering reviewWork independently while understanding the necessity for communicating and coordinating work efforts with other employees and organizationsOrganize and/or attend meetings with team to discuss project tasks and schedulePrepare presentations and slides to communicate ideas and/or progress on projectsReport progress directly to Engineering Supervisor or Engineer LeadPerform other duties and cross training as assigned
Qualifications

U.S. Citizenship / Ability to pass background investigation & drug screeningAttending a full-time matriculated and national accredited BS or MS program in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering or related fieldMinimum 3.0 cumulative GPA off a 4.0 scale without roundingBasic understanding of high-speed or compressible flow principlesBasic understanding of mechanical design, materials and manufacturing processesAbility to work well in a team environment and coordinate between various teams and disciplinesBasic to intermediate programming language (MATLAB, Python, C++, etc.) skillsStrong written and verbal communication skillsAbility to work effectively in laboratory, test, and shop-floor environmentsSkilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint
Eligibility requirements

Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background investigation and drug screen. Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.

Preferred Skills

Coursework or project experience in:Propulsion or CombustionAerodynamics or compressible flowGas DynamicsThermodynamicsFluid MechanicsDynamic Systems and ControlExperience with computational fluid dynamic or aerodynamic analysis toolsUnderstanding of numerical methods and modelingSystem-level performance studies.Exposure to propulsion systems, inlet/duct flows, nozzles, or related flow path analysis is a plus
Benefits

Pay rates for this position begin at $24/hour and increase for each undergraduate year completed. Relocation support and housing assistance is available for those who relocate to a new city.

This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove that you meet the status of a U.S. Person as one of the following: U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. Citizen, have been granted asylee or refugee status (i.e., a protected individual under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).
