Flight Test Integration Engineer Intern (Summer 2027)

As an Flight Test Engineering Intern at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the Flight Test Engineering team. The Flight Test Engineering team is responsible for all vehicle level installation and test efforts at Reliable Robotics. The team regularly ensures the proper function of mechanical, electrical, and flight control systems onboard the aircraft. In addition, the Flight Test Engineering team has ownership over all ground and flight test operations within the organization. The team is composed of individuals familiar with experience developing experimental and certification products.

In your role as Flight Test Engineering Intern you will assist in the design and installation of modified flight control systems, throughout the development of a remotely operated autoflight system. You will ensure the proper build-up of functions and capabilities, beginning in the lab and ending on the vehicle. You’ll work alongside a team of engineers with expertise in various disciplines, including mechanical, software, flight test, and systems engineering. When the capabilities are ready, you will help prepare and often lead flight test activities to ensure proper implementation.
