Summer 2026 - IEF - Lab Test/Simulation Engineering College Intern

Gulfstream Aerospace • Savannah, GA

118d • Onsite

About The Position

The Lab Test Simulation Engineering team works in the Lab Test organization at Gulfstream where we design, build, and operate multiple hardware-in-the-loop engineering simulation labs. These are labs designed for internal Gulfstream aircraft engineers. These aircraft engineers are experts in all the various aircraft subsystems such as: electrical systems, mechanical systems, engines, and flight controls. These engineers utilize the labs to test their systems prior to deploying to the real aircraft. The labs are full representations of the aircraft so you can get in and fly them around. The labs are built using the real aircraft controllers and interfacing those controllers to a simulation platform which run aircraft subsystem simulation models. We build the simulation models using the Mathworks products, Simulink and Matlab then deploy that code on real time simulation platforms (ADI, Speedgoat, NI, Concurrent) which interface to the aircraft system controllers (i.e. Flight Controls, Brakes, Engines). We also do scripting in Python in order to facilitate the testing of aircraft interfaces, create utilities that support the lab operations, as well as create tools for our own group's usage. You may be asked to work on a Simulink model, Python script, the real time simulation platform, or work on integration tasks between the simulation platform, simulation models, and the aircraft controllers.
