Loads & Dynamics Engineering Intern - Summer 2027

Los AngelesOn-siteInternship

AI Summary

Supports supersonic aircraft development by performing structural and dynamic analysis, defining external loads, running finite element simulations, and characterizing aeroelastic effects like flutter.

About this role

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

About The Role:

As a Loads and Dynamics Engineering Intern you will support the development of our supersonic aircraft programs. This individual will work closely with the aerodynamics and structures teams to develop and refine external loads, create dynamic simulations, validate analysis through testing and flight, and evaluate flutter behaviors to support aircraft development.
Summer: around 12 weeks (May - August)

Responsibilities:

  • Solve structural static and dynamic problems through hand calculations, finite element analysis, or test data
  • External loads definition from flight maneuvers, gust, takeoff and landing for use in structural design and analysis 
  • Generation of vehicle finite element model to assess static and dynamic load cases 
  • Characterization of aeroelastic effects such as flutter 
  • Definition of random vibration environments from buffet and engine dynamics 

    • Minimum Requirements:

  • Practical experience through internships, studies or projects.
  • Must be currently enrolled in a STEM program at an accredited college or university (undergraduate student in your third or fourth year of study, or enrolled in a Master's or Ph.D. program).
