It’s the kind of mission diversity that demands a fresh way of thinking.\nWe began with an early bet on hybrid, when the mobility industry was focused on batteries. We designed, tested, and validated our first 1 MW high-speed generator in 12 months. And then we pushed further, developing systems with greater power density in less time. Today, our Hybrid Power Systems offer outputs ranging from 20 kW to 4 MW, with applications in the air or on the ground.\nOne of those applications is Laila, an unmanned drone designed for critical logistics and defense missions. With its 100 kW-class onboard Hybrid Power System, Laila can support medical cold-chain transport or serve as an aerial platform for counter-UAS measures.\nThe market interest has been overwhelming: Over 30 inbound requests from leading US and global manufacturers, and 14+ DoD contracts.\nOur team comes from deep tech and aerospace, with backgrounds spanning drone and aircraft development, high-volume production, and electrified mobility.\nWe operate with urgency and ownership at every level. We validated high-speed generator technology faster than our peers, not because we skipped steps, but because we've been doing this long enough to know which ones matter most.\nCreating the future of power, in the air and on the ground, is a challenge we’ve been training our entire lives for. If that sounds like you, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.\nAbout The Role\nAre you motivated by solving complex engineering challenges and contributing to the development of an advanced aircraft system? If you are energized by both big-picture thinking and hands-on execution, this role offers the opportunity to support the definition, architecture, integration, and test of a novel aircraft.\nAs a Systems Engineering and Integration Intern, you will work across disciplines to support system development activities, including requirements definition, hardware and software integration, and verification. You will engage directly with engineering teams to help translate concepts into functional systems and see your contributions validated through tests.\nThis role is well suited for individuals who are curious, detail-oriented, and eager to gain experience in a fast-paced engineering environment.\nWhat You’ll Do\nParticipate in defining aircraft use-cases, capabilities, missions and functions\n\nAssist with organizing, managing, and maintaining aircraft, system, and mission requirements\n\nUse engineering tools to capture and define the system architecture, system boundaries, and interfaces\n\nAssist in defining, documenting, and implementing engineering processes for software change management, testing, and version control\n\nParticipate in aircraft software verification & validation activities\n\nSupport the integration and testing of a ground control station and software\n\nPerform hands-on integration and testing of mission equipment (computers, radios, datalinks, cameras, and sensors)\n\nConduct lab & field tests, data collection and analysis\n\nWhat We Are Looking For\nCurrently enrolled in or recently completed a bachelor’s or advanced degree program in Aerospace Engineering, EE/ME, Computer Science, or related field\n\nCoursework in systems engineering is highly desired with basic understanding of engineering development processes\n\nAerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Science as a core discipline\n\nInterested in systems thinking and able to visualize, articulate, and understand the a system in its entirety, not just individual components\n\nEnjoys being hands-on- integrating and testing real hardware & software\n\nAble to work independently, take ownership of tasks, and ask good questions when needed\n\nStrong curiosity, attention to detail, and desire to make a meaningful impact\n\nNice To Have\nParticipation in organized student project teams (DBF, Formula SAE, Robotics/Mechatronics, AI/Autonomy)\n\nExperience with the mechanical, electrical, and/or software integration of components\n\nCoding skills (Python, C/C++)\n\nInterest in system architecture, requirements, system safety, and engineering
