Job Summary Voyager Technologies is seeking a driven and mission-oriented Engineering Intern / Variable-Hour Aerospace Technician based out of our Folsom, California operations. This role is designed for a motivated candidate actively pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with long-term aspirations toward a Master’s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering. The selected candidate will work full-time during academic breaks and shift to a reduced, part-time schedule during the school year, allowing for full career development without interrupting educational progress. In this role, the candidate will gain hands-on experience in the design-through-fabrication continuum of aerospace components—supporting engineering teams from concept and design, through analysis, prototyping, manufacturing, and integration. This is a high-visibility growth opportunity for a candidate who brings operational discipline, safety awareness, and small-team leadership from prior service, and who is ready to apply those instincts in a technical engineering environment. Responsibilities Support mechanical and aerospace engineering teams in design, analysis, and documentation of aerospace components and subsystems Assist in fabrication, assembly, and integration of prototype and production hardware under the direction of senior engineers Participate in design-to-fabrication workflows including CAD modeling, drawing interpretation, and tolerance review Perform routine inspection, measurement, and quality checks on fabricated parts and assemblies Assist in lab and test environments including component build-up, instrumentation setup, and data collection Support configuration management and documentation of engineering work products including manufacturing travelers, inspection records, and assembly procedures Operate and maintain tools, equipment, and laboratory apparatus in a safe and responsible manner Contribute to safety culture, including adherence to facility safety protocols, hazardous material handling procedures, and emergency response standards Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, and systems engineering teams to support program milestones Provide input on process improvements based on hands-on observations during build and test activities Required Qualifications Active U.S. DoD Secret Security Clearance S. Citizenship High school diploma or equivalent; currently enrolled in or accepted to an accredited Bachelor of Science program in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related STEM discipline Demonstrated experience in high-reliability, safety-critical operations (military, emergency response, aviation, or industrial equivalent) Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety in hands-on environments Ability to follow technical procedures, work instructions, and engineering drawings Strong communication skil…
