Department Overview
The Compression Systems Engineering (CSE) is seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Design Engineering Intern for the Geared Turbofan High Pressure Compressor Module team. We’re looking for students with an engineer’s curiosity, an explorer’s heart, and a perfectionist’s grit to help us build the future of aerospace.
The job entails entry level support of new component designs and improving existing designs. Tasks could include participation in Engineering Changes through the execution of Standard Work, use of NX CAD to build models and design layouts, GD&T blueprint interpretation activities and potential manufacturing and test support as needed.
Program goal is for the intern to gain an understanding of the aerospace industry; learn about P&W and its operations; and to develop an appreciation of how each discipline contributes to the success of our products and customer partnerships. While the intern will benefit from on-the-job training and practical experience, they will be expected to contribute fresh ideas and participate as a productive member of the department. Their growth as a professional and the difference they make will be on display every day.

- You have a real passion for learning and pursuing a career in the design, manufacture, and support of world class engines.
- Competency with Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
- Practical experience with a CAD system is highly preferred (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Pro/E, CATIA, or other).
- Practical experience with GD&T and reading blueprints is highly preferred.
- Practical experience with MATLAB, Minitab, or other software packages.
- Practical experience with FEM software (ANSYS, NX Simulation, SolidWorks Simulation, or other).
