Mechanical Engineering Intern (2027)

Gravitics, Inc•Marysville, WA

2d•$28 - $35•Onsite

About The Position

Gravitics is seeking mechanical interns to join their 2027 Winter class (January-March 2027). Interns will receive high ownership and guidance with challenging and meaningful projects that are critical components to the success of the mission. They will partner with and learn from top professionals in the aerospace industry. This will be a 10-12 week internship in their facility in the greater Seattle area. Interns will be in the same location where structures, mechanisms, propulsion, life support systems, avionics, power systems, thermal systems, software, and associated testing are handled. The role is for individuals who are driven, passionate, collaborative, hands-on, and want to grow their technical skills to help enable expansion into the solar system. Internship disciplines include Mechanical Test Engineering and Motor Control Engineering.

Requirements
