Intern: Summer 2026 - Materials & Processes Engineering And Mechanical Disciplines (onsite)

Pratt & Whitney Summer Internship Program

Pratt & Whitney is working to once again transform the future of flight-designing, building, and servicing engines unlike any the world has ever seen. And because transformation begins from within, we're seeking the people to drive it. So, calling all curious.

Come ready to explore and you'll find a place where your talent takes flight-beyond the borders of title, a country, or your comfort zone. Bring your passion and commitment and we'll welcome you into a tight-knit team that takes our mission personally. Channel your drive to make a difference into shaping an organization and an industry that's evolving fast to the future.

At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?

The Materials & Processes Engineering and Mechanical Disciplines (MPE + MD) department is seeking talented engineering candidates to join our summer internship program.

During your internship you could be responsible for engine component evaluation, materials and/or chemical process development, analyses, testing and other support functions for both commercial and military jet engine applications.

Specific tasks may include mechanical testing, structural analysis or structural software tool development, materials analysis, metallurgical or chemical analysis, inspection processes or coating property analysis.

Interns will document and analyze data/results, prepare reports and presentations, draw conclusions and make recommendations based on experimental findings.

The program typically lasts 10-12 weeks and assignments are available in the areas of:

Materials development for aerospace alloys, coatings and polymers/composites

Materials and engine component analysis through electron microscopy and other scattering techniques

Process and analytical chemistry

Non-destructive evaluation

Mechanics of material and component behavior

Fatigue and fracture mechanics modeling

High cycle fatigue / vibrations analytical capabilities

System strength modeling

Materials property and process modeling

Material data analysis, statistics and applications to engine design

Engineering Interns at Pratt & Whitney work on challenging, meaningful, and impactful projects across our business. Our intern program seeks to help you develop an understanding of the aerospace industry and learn about our company and its operations.
