Summer 2027 Engineering & Technical Internships

Overview Job Title: Engineering Technician/Intern Location: Arnold AFB, TN Job Family Code: O-Engineering Function/Branch: Engineering / Engineering Resource Management Directorate: Engineering & Tech Support Position Type: Full Time / Seasonal Pay Type: Non-Exempt Grade: L04 (OA0402) – L05 (OA0503) Salary Range: $27.84 - $36.41 per hour Overview Beyond New Horizons (BNH) is responsible for the design, operation, and maintenance of the infrastructure required to test flight, defense, and aerospace systems in the ground test facilities at Arnold Engineering Development Complex at Arnold AFB, Tennessee. This infrastructure includes equipment such as electric motors, compressors, hydraulic systems, refrigeration systems, heaters, dryers, power systems, measurement and data acquisition systems, control systems, and more. We do not design or conduct analysis of the vehicles; we design, operate, and maintain the systems which enable ground test of models and subassemblies to provide our customers with the data they need to make decisions on design and flightworthiness. Open external candidates who are currently enrolled in an accredited college or university engineering or technical degree program noted in the qualifications. Job Summary The Beyond New Horizons internship program offers a 12-week full-time summer opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in various engineering and computer science related disciplines. As part of the internship, you are paired with experienced engineers and scientists who serve as your mentor(s) in completing real engineering or technical work gaining valuable experience in your field of study while contributing to Air Force and contractor missions. You will be required to present a briefing to management demonstrating what you learned and accomplished throughout the summer. Our internship is structured such that you are assigned multiple tasks to complete throughout the summer to provide exposure to the variety of types of work assignments available here at AEDC. These are real engineering/technical assignments that need to be completed, not busy work to keep you occupied. Test Operations Engineers also provide system engineer capabilities as part of a team of mechanical and electrical engineers whose job is to oversee installation, operation, sustainment, and troubleshooting of their assigned test cell equipment and systems. Some examples of test systems in various facilities include thrust determination and force measurement systems, fuel systems, icing systems, combustors, nozzles, water systems, gaseous nitrogen systems, hydraulic systems, lubrication oil systems, high pressure air systems, service air systems, liquid nitrogen systems, various sensors, etc. that are needed to reliably provide test data to our customers. Minimum Requirements for Consideration: IMPORTANT: Resumes must include degree program, projected graduation date, and GPA to…
