Position Description
Engineering Intern for Boeing Huntsville Space and Commercial programs. Boeing Huntsville programs include Boeing Space Exploration and support to the Boeing Commercial Airline 787 Dreamliner design. The Huntsville Design Center and Advanced Design & Prototype Systems are key team members in the design and build process of the 787 and other commercial aircraft. New technologies and processes have been developed to help Boeing and its supplier partners achieve significant efficiency gains. Boeing Space Exploration is a leading provider of human space flight and space exploration systems and services. Space Exploration, a division within Boeing Defense, Space and Security Network and Space Systems business, employs approximately 3,000 people in Alabama, California, Florida and Texas. As NASA defines its roadmap for the future, Boeing will apply its 50 years of experience in human spaceflight to assist NASA as it matures the technologies needed, such as a Space Launch System for crew exploration missions beyond Earth orbit, while leveraging our design work to date on the Ares upper stage rocket and associated avionics. Interns are typically paired with a senior engineer to perform engineering tasks associated with the development and verification of product performance requirements.
