GE Aerospace • Town of Niskayuna, NY

3d • Onsite

About The Position

As a Mechanical Systems Fellow Intern in the Mechanical Components and Systems Lab, you will have a role in advancing the technology readiness level of mechanical solutions that enable the future of flight: sustainable, high speed, and next generation propulsion. You will participate in the design, analysis, and/or assembly of test rigs, test equipment, and test articles that push the state of the art of bearings, gear systems, rotor/stator seals, and rotordynamics. At GE Aerospace Research, scientists, engineers, and technicians innovate for the future of flight. An internship with us will provide valuable hands-on experience to help you launch your career in industrial research. Intern assignments are typically for 12-14 weeks; working side by side with experts in the field of mechanical engineering, completing challenging technical projects and applying theoretical knowledge to real-life technical problems. This program includes seminars on cross-center technology and soft skills development as well as opportunities for networking and showcasing project accomplishments.
