Engineering Internship

About the job

Company Overview Hybron is an advanced manufacturing company that is building lightweight composites at mass production scale. At Hybron, we have pioneered a new composites manufacturing process that enables complex, high performance composite parts to be produced 10-100 times faster than traditional manufacturing, at a fraction of the cost.

We recently closed an oversubscribed $25M seed round, are backed by the Northrop Grumman Technology Accelerator, and are rapidly growing to commercialize and mass produce composite products at a scale never seen before. Our current focus is applying our proprietary process to composite artillery shells, solid rocket motor nozzles, gas turbine engine components, and airframes.

If you want to join a rapidly growing company working on cutting edge composites technology while building capabilities for the warfighter and reshoring U.S. manufacturing, then we want to speak with you.

About the Role

This is a full-time, in-person role at our Hawthorne facility. The length of the internship will be at least 10 weeks. As you will be working at an early-stage deep tech startup, this role will span many different tasks. You will need to be a self-starter and adaptable to performing many different jobs. Along with these high expectations comes the opportunity to significantly influence the product development and trajectory of a fast-growing startup company.

The objective of this internship is to provide you with experience with Hybron’s composites manufacturing process and technology while also providing you with the opportunity to work on impactful engineering projects that will truly support the company’s development. While not guaranteed, our goal is to provide a return offer for a follow-up internship or a full-time position upon observance of strong performance during the internship.

You will be assigned one or a few major projects throughout your internship.
