Develop unconventional sourcing strategies, build talent ecosystems, partner strategically with executives and hiring managers, deliver personalized candidate experiences, improve recruiting systems, assess talent rigorously, and close difficult searches. The role requires strong judgment, creativity, relationship-building, systems thinking, and the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

Supports aerospace test engineering by designing and fabricating test stands and fixtures, developing test plans and instrumentation, operating test hardware, documenting procedures, analyzing data, troubleshooting facilities, and improving reliability. The intern owns a scoped summer project and presents results. Work involves jet engine and subsystem testing, hands-on hardware, data acquisition, fabrication, and safety around pressurized systems, flammables, and high voltage.

Support the design, analysis, assembly, and testing of propulsion hardware. Conduct design trade studies, CAD modeling, structural, thermal, and fluid analyses, tooling design, data analysis, troubleshooting, and corrective actions. Present work in design reviews and own a scoped summer project through completion. The internship is full-time and in person in San Francisco, with hands-on work on the Duality engine and mentorship from experienced engineers.

Supports the design, analysis, fabrication, and testing of composite and metallic aircraft structures. Performs CAD modeling, drawings, hand calculations, and basic FEA; assists with trade studies, design reviews, manufacturing support, testing, and configuration control. Works cross-functionally with aerospace engineering teams, owns a scoped summer project, and presents results. The internship is full-time, in-person in San Francisco during Summer 2027.

Support guidance, navigation, and control algorithm development for an autonomous aircraft. Build 6-DOF dynamics and simulation models, automate control design and Monte Carlo validation, collaborate across hardware and software teams, and own a scoped summer project through final presentation. The role is full-time and in-person in San Francisco during Summer 2027.

Software Engineering Intern embedded with the aerospace software team in San Francisco. Responsibilities include developing and testing flight software, simulation systems, test infrastructure, and engineering tools; working with embedded hardware and real-time systems; debugging across the software stack; collaborating with multidisciplinary engineers; and presenting completed work.

Lead and develop the IT help desk team while owning company-wide support for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Administer Microsoft 365 GCC/GCC High, Intune, Jamf, networking infrastructure, and VPNs. Maintain CMMC 2.0, ITAR, and EAR compliance; manage access, assets, onboarding, offboarding, documentation, and audits. Partner with engineering and leadership to evaluate and deploy tools in a fully onsite environment.

Architect and build an end-to-end ground software system for aircraft telemetry and command operations. Responsibilities include ingesting radio-link data, real-time processing, time-series storage, backend APIs, Mission Control visualization, aircraft health monitoring, and command tools. The role emphasizes approximately one-second latency, fault tolerance, high reliability, cloud systems, and cross-functional interface development with flight software teams.

Design, implement, and tune controls for high-voltage, high-power inverters, DC-DC converters, motor controllers, and propulsion systems. Develop bus control and governor systems, synchronize coupled turbines, generators, and grid-connected systems, and validate control performance on hardware. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and propulsion engineers to bring inverter systems from concept through testing.

Design and own aerospace engine components from concept through production, qualification, integration, and flight testing. Perform design trades, detailed CAD modeling, and support structural, thermal, and fluid analyses. Build prototypes, develop tooling and work instructions, test hardware, analyze results, and drive corrective actions. Collaborate with propulsion, aircraft, and test teams in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
