What you would be doing
You would take assigned projects and give them structure: setting schedules and project limits, and defining the procedures needed to reach each system objective. That includes breaking the work into tasks, estimating effort, mapping dependencies, marking milestones and doing the analysis behind them.
You would also work directly with the engineering team, supporting their programming work and the choice of materials for projects.
Who can apply and what to have ready
The internship is full time and in the office, so you need to be able to commit to that for the full 6 months. Your start date must fall between 17 October 2026 and 21 November 2026.

- Critical thinking and a detail-oriented, problem-solving habit
- Strong spoken and written communication, including the ability to analyse a problem without a lot of background

- Interest in technology and solid computer literacy
- Good time management, with the ability to prioritise and stay flexible

How to prepare before you apply
- Refresh your MS-Excel basics. A simple task list with estimates, dependencies and milestones is a good practice exercise for this role.
- Pick one college or personal project and be ready to explain how you scheduled it, what slowed it down and how you adjusted.
- Practise describing a technical problem in plain words to someone who knows nothing about it, since the post values analysing problems with little context.
- Get comfortable building a short MS-PowerPoint deck that summarises a project plan clearly.
- Read up on how engineering and project teams work together, so you can talk about it with some confidence.
