Flight Systems Engineering Intern - Summer 2026

<p data-rx-type="text" data-rx-first-level="true">At Heart Aerospace, we are developing the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric airplane capable of carrying 30 passengers, boasting an electric zero-emission range of 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 800 km. Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the decade.</p> <p data-rx-type="text" data-rx-first-level="true"><strong>Your mission</strong></p> <p data-rx-type="text" data-rx-first-level="true"><span class="TextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">We are</span> <span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">looking for </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">extraordinary</span> <span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">students who want to join </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">the Flight Systems team</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">. </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">As a</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">n intern, yo</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">u will support the integration, verification, and validation of avionics, propulsion, and </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0">aircraft</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW109996937 BCX0"> control systems for the ES-30 program.
