What You Will Do

The Commercial Engines Air Systems Design & Integration (ASDI) organization is seeking a driven engineering intern for summer 2027 to join our team at the East Hartford CT campus. ASDI offers a unique opportunity to work at the heart of the engine system. Our discipline defines the physical and functional requirements that shape internal and external air system architectures including system cooling and sealing flows bearing load management risk assessment and mitigation and clearance control.

Success in this dynamic discipline is essential to delivering a competitive propulsion system. ASDI engineers develop a broad systemlevel perspectiveunderstanding how design air systems thermal environments mechanical loads engine performance and control strategies interact across the entire engine. This discipline requires seamless integration with adjacent system disciplines close collaboration with module centers and part owners and a strong aptitude for multidisciplinary problemsolving. It offers an exceptional opportunity to apply and grow systemsengineering skills while influencing the design and performance of a complex engine architecture.

As an Air Systems Design & Integration (ASDI) Engineering intern at Pratt & Whitney you will

• Perform detailed internal air system flow analyses to evaluate performance cooling and sealing effectiveness for commercial engine programs
• Support cutting-edge development engine testing transforming raw data into actionable engineering sights to shape critical design decisions.
• Execute probabilistic studies to quantify complex system behavior and assess overall design robustness.
• Investigate flow system options through trade studies that directly impact design choices and engine capabilities.

What You Will Learn

• Learn how commercial jet engine air systems truly work building a strong foundation in internal air systems architecture gas turbine engine performance and internal air system flow analysis.
• Develop a broad systemlevel engineering perspective by seeing how different design decisions operating environments and performance factors interact across a complex system.
• Gain experience in applying the core principles of fluid mechanics to a real engineering challenge by analyzing how air moves cools and interacts within a jet engines complex internal flow system
• Strengthen your systems engineering skills by working on multidisciplinary challenges that require you to connect dots across design analysis testing and hardware understanding.
• Build confidence in making data-driven engineering decisions using real analysis tools and test insights to understand tradeoffs and shape engine design directions.
• Gain exposure to Pratt & Whitneys products and technologies with insights into how teams across the company contribute to designing building and supporting worldclass propulsion systems.
• Engineering Interns at Pratt & Whitney work on challenging meaningful and impactful projects across our business.
• Our intern program seeks to help you develop an understanding of the aerospace industry and learn about our company and its operations.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Must be pursuing Bachelors or Advanced degree in Engineering or related Science Technology Engineering or Mathematics field and actively enrolled through the completion of the internship session.
• Must have a minimum of 30 hours of credit by the start of the internship session.
• Minimum 3.0 Cumulative GPA

Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience research coursework or projects
