Propulsion Performance Engineering Intern - Bohemia, NY - Summer 2027

GE Aerospace • Bohemia, LA

2d

About The Position

Innoveering, a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Aerospace, develops advanced high-speed propulsion engines for aerospace and defense customers, including the U.S. Government and major aerospace prime weapons systems companies. The Propulsion Performance Engineering Intern will collaborate with engineers to assess propulsion-system component and harsh-environment sensor performance. The work involves applying engineering principles and using knowledge of compressible flow, thermodynamics, programming, and data acquisition to analyze component integrity and performance. The intern will communicate and document work through technical summaries, reports, charts, and presentations, and will coordinate with project teams.

Requirements

• U.S. citizenship or ability to pass a background investigation and drug screening.
• Currently attending a full-time, matriculated, nationally accredited BS or MS program in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, without rounding.
• Basic understanding of high-speed or compressible-flow principles.
• Basic understanding of mechanical design, materials, and manufacturing processes.
• Ability to work well in a team environment and coordinate across teams and disciplines.
• Basic to intermediate programming skills in a language such as MATLAB, Python, or C++.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in laboratory, test, and shop-floor environments.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint.
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S.; employment visa sponsorship is not available.
• Ability to meet U.S. Person status requirements for access to export-controlled information.
