Test and Manufacturing Operations Intern - Bohemia, NY - Summer

In this role, you will collaborate with other engineers and operations teams to support hands‑on engineering and operations activities across propulsion system and subsystem testing as well as onsite additive manufacturing. Tasks may involve the planning, setup, execution, and analysis of propulsion‑related tests, while also contributing to the fabrication and evaluation of hardware using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), binder jet, and large‑scale filament printing technologies.

The role provides exposure to the full engineering cycle from concept support and hardware preparation through test operations, data review, and iterative design/manufacturing improvements.

Innoveering, 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.
