Spring 2027 - IEF - Electronic Systems Engineering (Avionics) Collegiate Intern
About The Position
Join the Electronic Systems Engineering (ESE) organization as a Collegiate Intern focused on Avionics and Airborne Software Development. This position provides an opportunity to work on technologies that enable Gulfstream aircraft navigation, communications, flight deck systems, system integration, and next-generation aerospace capabilities. Electronic Systems Engineering develops, integrates, and certifies aircraft systems ranging from flight deck applications and airborne software to communications networks, sensors, and integrated avionics architectures. Engineers collaborate across multiple disciplines to transform aircraft requirements into certified aerospace solutions. As a Collegiate Intern, you will work alongside experienced systems and software engineers supporting the development, integration, verification, and troubleshooting of aircraft systems. Projects may involve software development, systems analysis, requirements validation, laboratory testing, model-based development, network analysis, or aircraft integration activities. Interns may have opportunities to utilize software development tools, simulation environments, hardware-in-the-loop labs, and aircraft system integration test facilities to support the engineering lifecycle. Assignments are designed to provide meaningful engineering experience while exposing students to real-world aerospace development processes and certification considerations.
