The Structural & Thermal-Fluids Engineering Group provides innovative multidisciplinary engineering solutions through the development of advanced mechanical and aerospace technologies for sea, ground, air, and space-based prototype systems for national security applications. Examples include the development of structural-material systems for spaceborne imaging and laser communication terminals, heat exchangers for high-flux laser and RF solid-state devices, and aerodynamic designs and multifunctional materials for UAV platforms. New technologies and engineering solutions are developed through high-fidelity models and multidisciplinary simulations, environmental and materials characterization testing, and advanced materials to optimize solutions to meet ever increasing performance, size, weight, and environmental challenges.
Overview
MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Group 74 is seeking a Summer 2026 Intern (approximately May through August) to support exciting projects focused on structural, thermal, and fluids engineering challenges. This position offers hands-on experience applying engineering fundamentals to solve real-world problems across aerospace and defense domains.
As an intern in this group, you’ll contribute to a variety of technical efforts that may include:
⦁ Creating and running analysis models (finite element structural and/or thermal models, CFD models, etc)
⦁ Running of internally-developed multidisciplinary simulation software
⦁ Analyzing model results and generating new designs based on those results
⦁ Structural and thermal testing and hardware integration
⦁ Participating in the research and development of new modeling and design capabilities
Requirements
The Summer Research Program offers students the chance to apply their academic knowledge to real-world national security challenges while working alongside leading scientists and engineers. As an SRP intern, you’ll engage in hands-on research, receive dedicated mentorship, and take part in professional development opportunities including workshops, tech talks, and networking events—all while building connections within a vibrant community of peers.
Compensation
