Under the guidance of senior engineers, the intern will provide support for systems analysis studies spanning numerous projects, primarily within the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. Activities focus on engineering disciplines related to general aeronautical system conceptual design and analysis. As a trainee, you will increase knowledge, skills, and abilities in engineering disciplines related to On-Demand Mobility (that is, small, conventional and vertical takeoff and landing, passenger and cargo carrying aircraft operations) with emphasis on aircraft configuration and design, concepts of operation, propulsion-airframe integration, rotorcraft aeromechanics, flow control, electric/hybrid-electric propulsion, and national airspace systems operations.
You will be required to sign a Pathways Participant Agreement.
You will be required to undergo a pre-employment background investigation.
Be available to begin work by June 2018.
Have at least one year of academic study remaining before completing degree requirements.

To be eligible for this position, you must be pursuing a degree in engineering, physical science, mathematics, life sciences, computer science, or other field of science at an accredited educational institution.
Degrees in engineering technology are not qualifying for this position.
Engineering degrees must be from a college or university school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum. To find out if a degree meets this requirement, go to .
