Loads and Dynamics Engineering Intern - Summer 2026
Hermeus is a venture capital-backed aerospace and defense technology company. The business is focused on building high-speed products that sustainably deliver asymmetric advantage to the Department of Defense and allied partners. Utilizing an iterative development approach to aircraft, Hermeus’ high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft aim to deliver capabilities at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s.
Hermeus is seeking talented students to join our Flight Sciences team in LA for the Summer 2026 semester.
As a Loads and Dynamics Engineering Intern you will support the development of our supersonic aircraft programs. This individual will work closely with the aerodynamics and structures teams to develop and refine external loads, create dynamic simulations, validate analysis through testing and flight, and evaluate flutter behaviors to support aircraft development.
This is a full-time paid internship that will last around 12-16 weeks (May - August).
- Solve structural static and dynamic problems through hand calculations, finite element analysis, or test data
- External loads definition from flight maneuvers, gust, takeoff and landing for use in structural design and analysis
- Generation of vehicle finite element model to assess static and dynamic load cases
- Characterization of aeroelastic effects such as flutter
- Definition of random vibration environments from buffet and engine dynamics
- Practical experience through internships, studies or projects.
- Must be currently enrolled in a STEM program at an accredited college or university (undergraduate student in your third or fourth year of study, or enrolled in a Master's or Ph.D. program).
- Strong understanding of engineering first principles.
- Demonstrated ability to work within cross-functional teams.
- Enthusiasm for aviation and Hermeus's mission.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- GPA of 3.0 or above.
