As a Design Engineer intern, you will join the engineering office working directly with the CTO. The role is versatile: digital mock-up (DMU) and configuration management, detailed design and drafting, and hands-on industrial support on the shop floor. You will join at a key stage of the project: building a full-scale demonstrator for flight testing.
Your main missions
Digital Mock-Up (DMU) & configuration management
- Build and maintain the product DMU (Fusion 360): assembly tree, spatial integration, clash detection.
- Apply configuration management processes: naming, versioning, baselines and traceability.
Design & drafting
- Perform detailed mechanical design of components, tooling and test equipment, from the dimensioned 3D model to the 2D manufacturing drawing.
- Apply geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) and aerospace drawing standards, working with the analysis engineers (structure, thermal, fluids).
Industrial engineering & shop-floor support
- Support manufacturing and assembly on the shop floor: processes, fit-up, first-article validation.
- Liaise with suppliers and take part in test bench and sub-system integration.
Required profile
- Final-year student at an engineering school or specialized Master's in design or mechanical engineering, or propulsion.
- Ideally a first experience in an engineering office, in a demanding industrial environment (aerospace, space, automotive, defense).
Required skills and qualities
- Proficiency in a CAD tool (3D modeling, assembly, drafting; Fusion 360 a plus).
- Knowledge of configuration management (changes, baselines, BOM) and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T).
- Hands-on ability to solve practical integration and manufacturing problems.
- Rigor, team spirit; fluency in French and English.
Why join us
- Join a fast-growing start-up at an early stage and contribute to high-impact technological projects.
- Take part in building the team and the identity of Viraj Aero.
- End-of-studies internship that may lead to a permanent position.
How to apply
Please send your CV and cover letter to careers@viraj-aero.com, specifying the position in the subject line. If your application is shortlisted, you will first be invited to an interview with our Managing Director, before the technical interviews.
