Aerospace Technician Intern — Hands-on Prototyping & Testing

Are you about to graduate, or currently studying Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, and looking for an opportunity where you can actually build, test and work with cutting-edge aerospace hardware?

I'm supporting an innovative aerospace and defense company that is looking for an Engineering Intern / Variable-Hour Aerospace Technician to join its team in Folsom, California.

This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about aerospace engineering and enjoys getting hands-on. If you'd rather be assembling hardware, building prototypes and solving engineering challenges than sitting behind a desk all day, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

The position has been designed to fit around your studies, allowing you to work full-time during university breaks before moving to a flexible part-time schedule during the academic year.

You'll gain exposure to the complete engineering lifecycle, supporting projects from initial design through to manufacturing, testing and final integration.

You'll be involved in:

• Building and assembling prototype aerospace hardware

• Supporting mechanical and aerospace engineers throughout the design process

• Prototype fabrication, manufacturing and integration

• Working with CAD models and engineering drawings

• Testing, instrumentation and data collection

• Inspection and quality assurance

• Working alongside experienced engineers on real aerospace and defense programmes

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Are studying, or have recently graduated in, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related STEM discipline

• Have an active U.S. DoD Secret Security Clearance

• Are passionate about aerospace and advanced engineering

• Enjoy hands-on work and building things

• Have experience in military, aviation, manufacturing or other safety-critical environments

Experience with CAD, GD&T, manufacturing processes or propulsion systems would be an advantage, but curiosity, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are just as important.

This is an exceptional opportunity to kick-start your engineering career while continuing your education, working alongside a highly experienced team developing next-generation aerospace technology.

If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you. Apply today or send me a message for a confidential conversation.
