In-Service Engineering - Structures Intern
About the role
Profile (Overview of job)
This internship will begin on May 4, 2026.
This 16-month internship offers a unique opportunity for an aerospace/mechanical engineering student to gain hands-on experience in aircraft structural engineering within an operational, in-service environment.
As a Structures Engineering Intern, you will work alongside experienced engineers supporting active aircraft operators. Your work will contribute directly to keeping aircraft flying safely and efficiently through the development of structural repair solutions, stress analysis, in-service modifications, and technical investigations.
This role goes beyond academic exercises — you will apply engineering fundamentals to real damage reports, operational constraints, and technical queries from airline customers, gaining valuable insight into how aircraft are supported throughout their service life.
Duties & Responsibilities:
- Design repair solutions for damaged aircraft structural components.
- Perform and document structural stress analysis to substantiate repair designs.
- Design and substantiate in-service aircraft modifications.
- Investigate recurring or emerging fleet issues and prepare engineering reports.
- Support ferry flight recommendations and other engineering concessions.
- Collaborate with internal engineering teams, aircraft manufacturers, suppliers, and airline customers.
- Communicate technical findings clearly through drawings, reports, and presentations.
Education and Professional Qualifications:
- Current aerospace engineering student (bachelor’s or masters).
- Preference to students who have completed at least 2 years of undergraduate education.
Skills
- MS Office Experience required.
- CATIA V5 experiences an asset.
- Programming experience an asset.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
