Society of Women Engineers Conference Summer Internship - Engineering 2027

Airbus • Mobile, AL

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is seeking a summer intern to join its Engineering department in Mobile, Alabama, for the 2027 Summer Internship Program. The intern will support engineering teams with cabin engineering, including design, analysis, and certification of components associated with commercial aircraft interiors. Design activities involve using design tools and learning how components are designed and integrated into an aircraft. Analysis and certification work evaluates stress, flammability, and weight impacts and confirms compliance with commercial aviation standards and regulations.

The role may also support production or in-service aircraft through design engineering activities such as detail-part modeling and sizing, layout maturation, trade-study analysis, weight reduction, certification, and in-service support. The intern will develop solutions to simple, routine technical problems of limited scope, apply technical principles while following detailed instructions, communicate work status and issues, and learn and apply engineering tool sets effectively.

The internship is full-time and onsite in Mobile, Alabama. Candidates must attend the SWE 2026 Conference in Boston, be willing to relocate to Mobile for the internship, and be available from May 17 through August 6, 2027. Airbus describes its engineering work as spanning the aircraft life cycle, from product development and manufacturing to direct support for airline customers. The posting also identifies a Wichita State University innovation-campus facility and describes its aerostructure engineering work, though the internship location is listed as Mobile.

Requirements

• Must be present at the SWE 2026 Conference in Boston, Massachusetts.
• Must be willing to relocate to Mobile, Alabama, for the internship.
• Must be able to support the internship dates of May 17 through August 6, 2027.
• Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering, or enrolled in a Master's degree program; minimum sophomore level is acceptable for undergraduate students.
• Must be able to work in the United States without current or future need for visa sponsorship or work authorization.
• Proficiency with MS Office and G-Suite.
• Basic knowledge of classical and numerical (Finite Element) stress-analysis methods and a basic understanding of design principles.

Nice To Haves

• Curriculum exposure to airframe design, static analysis, mechanics of materials, and/or a CAD application.
• Currently pursuing a minor in Computer Science.
• Exposure to or knowledge of engineering tools including Airframe Design, MRB, CATIA, Isami, NASTRAN, and PATRAN.

Responsibilities

• Support engineering teams with cabin engineering design, analysis, and certification of commercial aircraft interior components.
• Perform design engineering activities in support of aircraft production or in-service aircraft.
• Work on assignments that may include detail-part modeling, detail-part sizing, layout maturation, trade-study analysis, weight-reduction efforts, certification activity, or in-service support.
• Prepare detailing data in support of airframe-structure trade studies.
• Evaluate stress, flammability, and weight impacts of designs and help validate compliance with commercial aviation standards and regulations.
• Develop solutions to simple, routine technical problems of limited scope.
• Apply technical principles and follow detailed instructions.
• Communicate issues, solutions, ideas, and work status effectively to supervision.
• Learn and apply engineering tool sets effectively.
