Lockheed Martin Internship

The challenge

We offer the internship of a lifetime. Get ready to have your career kickstarted with this unique internship at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth, Texas or Atlanta, Georgia. Here, you will have the opportunity to work on the fighter jet of tomorrow, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.

Forming the backbone of many of the world’s future air forces, the F-35 multirole fighter aircraft is to be produced in numbers exceeding 3,500. Take part in the massive engineering challenge of increasing production rate, improving workflow, and securing quality to ensure delivery, dependability, and cost reduction with global impact.

To experiencing one of the most advanced production lines in the aerospace industry, you will learn from the best as you participate in projects, complete courses, interact with mechanics and fellow engineers, and interact directly with the aircraft. Apply for this internship to learn skills beyond those taught in the classroom.

You as a person

With the internship being based in the US, you are of course fully proficient in English, both oral and written. You will be exposed to the international culture of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics as well as being a part of the local community, and the opportunities for cultural and social experiences will only be limited by your own interest, ability to have an open mind, and engage with new people.

Working within the security industry, it is also important that you have a sound understanding of the importance of company procedures and when to ask before acting.

• Quality Engineering
  Put your analytical engineering skills to the test in the Quality Engineering (Wing Assembly) or Quality Engineering (Final Assembly) department. You will conduct big data processing, discover trends, uncover root causes, and create solutions to reduce rework hours and defects – all with the goal to reduce the price of the aircraft. You will also have the opportunity to do lab experiments to obtain statistical data on solutions. As a quality engineer intern, you will get close up with the aircraft and get hands-on experience with the future fighter jet of the Royal Danish Air Force.
• Manufacturing Simulation & Modeling
  In this internship you will be working within the Data Science and Applications Engineering disciplines as you will become responsible for developing neural networks for automated inspection, defect identification, and defect classification.
  Together with your team you will also be involved in projects focused on implementing autonomous, robotic, and/or manually controlled technologies for use in performing inspections of the F-35 aircraft.

• Production Continuous Improvement
  As a production continuous improvement intern you will be involved in work related to quality and continuous improvement efforts to support work program quality projects, including the Wing and Sub-Assembly build areas. The role includes completing analysis and investigations to devise and implement methods and procedures for improving, testing, and evaluating the production processes.
