Acron Aviation is seeking motivated and innovative Systems Engineering Interns to join our engineering team in St. Petersburg, Florida.
This full-time, onsite internship is anticipated to run May through August and provides an opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a professional engineering environment. You will work alongside experienced systems engineers and contribute to projects supporting the development, integration, verification, certification, and sustainment of aerospace recorder products and related technologies.
Depending on your assigned team and project, you may gain experience in systems development, requirements analysis, product design, system integration, verification and validation, environmental testing, problem investigation, and technical documentation.
What you'd do
- Work under the guidance of experienced systems engineers and technical team members supporting recorder products and related aerospace systems.
- Support development and review of system requirements, specifications, interface definitions, and design documentation.
- Assist with systems analysis, modeling, and product development activities.
- Help translate customer, regulatory, certification, and program requirements into clear and testable system requirements.
- Develop or update test procedures, test scripts, verification plans, and validation documentation.
- Execute functional, environmental, integration, and system-level testing under engineering guidance.
- Analyze test results and document findings, anomalies, and recommendations.
- Support product integration, verification, validation, regression testing, and issue reproduction activities.
- Participate in test readiness reviews and help ensure test equipment, configurations, and procedures are prepared for execution.
- Assist in investigating defects, failures, and unexpected product behavior.
What they want
- Currently enrolled in an accredited bachelor’s or master’s degree program in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
- Expected to have completed at least two years of undergraduate study before the internship begins.
