Simulation Engineering Intern, Summer 2027

The role

You will help build and test simulation tools that check Wing's drone flight software. You will work with real flight data and closed-loop simulation environments, and support RL-based flight autonomy experiments.

What you will do

• Explore ways to use real-world flight data to validate flight software.
• Build closed-loop simulation environments using real flight telemetry for counterfactual rollouts and policy evaluation.
• Use large-scale simulation and data pipelines to run experiments and draw engineering insights.
• Work across Simulation, Perception and GNC teams on complex, open-ended engineering problems.

Required qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Expected to graduate between December 2027 and August 2028.
• Student enrolled in a degree program who intends to return to the program after the internship.
• Strong grasp of dynamical systems, linear algebra, 3D geometry and vision-based autonomy.
• Experience with C++ and/or Python.
• Experience with a numerical or statistics library or environment (e.g. numpy, scipy, pandas, Matlab, R) to analyze real-world data.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Benefits

• Paid 12-week summer internship.

Before you apply

• Must be a current student enrolled in a degree program and intend to return to the program after the internship.
• Must be expected to graduate between December 2027 and August 2028.
