Can confirm the NASA Academy at Langley is a fantastic program if you’re looking for an aeronautics / aerospace STEM internship. Check it out below:

I am excited to announce that I have accepted a SE&I Engineer position with ERC working at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on the Test Operations and Support Contract (TOSC). I will be providing engineering and technical integration support to a broad range of projects including those supporting the Artemis missions, Exploration Ground Systems, and the International Space Station. I will be starting this role in January post completion of my master's degree. This is the textbook definition of a dream job, and I am humbled to be given this opportunity. I want to thank my professors, classmates, fellow interns, and friends for all the support; without them I wouldn't be the engineer I am today. A special thanks to my mentor Liz Ward for her amazing guidance and encouragement during (and beyond) my NASA internships. Most of all, I am thankful for my family. Always there for me, my parents and brother have been pillars I can rely on. Ad Astra!

Hello everyone, I will be graduating from Duke with my Master of Engineering in December and am actively looking for work starting in January. I am searching for engineering roles in the aerospace industry, especially around the Space Coast in Florida. Thank you in advance for any connections, advice, or opportunities you can offer. #OpenToWork

AERO launched our rocket at the Spaceport America Cup this past week, an incredible end to our fantastic year. Unfortunately I couldn't go to the launch, but I cheered on from afar. Thank you to all my teammates for everything these past few years, especially my fellow seniors. I'm proud of us and our work. I'm grateful I get one last semester with the team while I pursue my M.Eng. Ad astra 🚀

I’m happy to share that I’m returning to the NASA Academy program out of NASA Langley Research Center this summer, serving as a Team Lead for our fantastic group of interns. We began work this Monday on a wildfire management project using NASA technology to address current wildfire needs. I am serving as Subject Matter Expert on Mechanical Engineering and advisory committee slides, as well as facilitating team meetings. This experience is a dream come true, and I'm thankful every day I get to be a part of it. It's an exhilarating feeling to walk around the center, the history of NASA's first center is palpable. I'm walking halls that Neil Armstrong and countless other astronauts once walked, and outside my window is the hanger that saw the original Apollo lander tests. Thank you Liz Ward for your support and trust in me, and for being an incredible mentor. Thank you to all my friends and family for the constant encouragement. Ad astra!
