Aerodynamics Engineering Intern

About the Program:

Wing is hosting a 12 week paid internship during the summer of 2025. It will be an in-person, hybrid internship based in Palo Alto, CA with start dates either in May or June.

About the Opportunity:

Wing is looking for an Aerodynamics Engineering Intern to join our Aircraft Development team based in Palo Alto, CA. We’re the driving force behind the design, prototyping, and optimization of our current and future aircraft. This internship is your chance to make a tangible impact on the future of drone delivery. As an Aerodynamics Engineering Intern, you’ll take ownership of a project focused on aerodynamic modeling for our next-generation delivery drones. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers, gaining hands-on experience in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

In this role, you will:

• You’ll play a key role in developing aerodynamic models that will shape current and future aircraft analysis and design.
• Utilize simplified and high-fidelity simulations tools to predict complex flight regimes and verify those predictions with real world flight test data.  
• You’ll collaborate closely with Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) and simulation engineers to integrate this model in the current code base infrastructure.

What You’ll Need: 

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, or related field, graduating between December 2025 and August 2026
• Experience with Matlab, Python, C++, or similar programming language
• Strong examples of collaborative, hands-on engineering experience from, e.g., prior work experience, university programs, internships, or student organizations
• Familiarity with aircraft design and aerodynamics
• Familiarity with propulsion and aerodynamic modeling 
• Passion for aviation, drones, or related technologies

This is your chance to:

• Make a measurable impact on Wing’s ability to rapidly design, build and test aircraft.
• Help create a radically new way to deliver goods that is more economical and environmentally friendly than the status quo.
• Gain valuable experience at the forefront of the rapidly growing drone delivery industry.
• Be a part of a dynamic and collaborative team at a company backed by Alphabet.
