Summer Engineering Internship 2027 in Mobile, AL

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for Summer Interns from SWE 2026 to join its Engineering department in Mobile, AL, for the 2027 Summer Internship Program.

Interns will work with engineering teams on cabin engineering, covering the design, analysis, and certification of components for commercial aircraft interiors. Design work involves using design tools and learning how components are designed and integrated into an aircraft. Analysis and certification work includes evaluating stress, flammability, and weight impacts and confirming designs meet commercial aviation standards and regulations.

Meet the Team

Engineers work on highly engineered aircraft across the full life cycle, from product development to manufacturing and direct support for airline customers.

Your Working Environment

The team works from Airbus's first dedicated engineering facility outside Europe, located on the Wichita State University (WSU) innovation campus. Its 200+ support staff and engineers focus on aerostructure design, including analysis of primary structures such as wings and fuselages for major Airbus products.

Your Challenges

• Perform design engineering activities to support production of new aircraft or in-service aircraft.
• Assignments may include detail part modeling, detail part sizing, layout maturation, trade study analysis, weight reduction, certification activity, or in-service support.
• Prepare detailed data for airframe structure trade studies.
• Apply basic knowledge of classical and numerical (Finite Element) stress analysis with a basic understanding of design principles.
• Solve simple, routine technical problems of limited scope.
• Apply technical principles and follow detailed instructions.
• Communicate issues, solutions, ideas, and status of current work to supervision.
• Learn and apply tool sets effectively.

Physical Requirements

• Full-time onsite work unless otherwise approved by management and human resources.
• Regular use of vision, hearing, and speaking for screens, documents, meetings, and calls.
• Ability to sit or stand for long periods, walk through office and production areas, and occasionally carry or lift items up to 30 lbs (14 kg).
• Required PPE may include safety shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection, respirators or masks, and protective gloves depending on site requirements. Steel-toed shoes are required on shop floor visits.
