Aero Thermal Fluids Intern, Summer 2027

Overview

Are you ready to explore aerospace and defense? RTX internships, co-ops and full-time roles give you a strong base for working on complex problems, building your skills and helping create a safer, more connected world.

What You Will Do

You will join a team that performs design analysis for lubrication systems in commercial and military aero-engines. You will work alongside engineers and experts to assess the design, performance and durability of components, and you will learn how multi-physics phenomena affect component and system design in jet engines.

As an Aero Thermal Fluids Intern at Pratt & Whitney, you will:

• Run computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or heat transfer analysis to evaluate lubrication system designs.
• Analyze multi-physics effects, including fluid mechanics and heat transfer, to assess system performance.
• Write and use small codes to analyze flow and energy transfer systems.
• Work with cross-functional teams to review and validate analysis results.
• Help advance lubrication system designs for jet engines.
• Support the evaluation of two-phase flow systems and their effect on performance.
• Document findings and present results to stakeholders.

What You Will Learn

Engineering interns at Pratt & Whitney work on challenging, meaningful projects across the business. The intern program helps you build an understanding of the aerospace industry and of how the company operates.
