Software Engineering Intern – Flight Software

Описание вакансии

At Heart Aerospace, we’re building the ES-30, a groundbreaking regional hybrid-electric airplane designed to carry 30 passengers with zero-emission capability up to 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 400 km. Our goal: achieve type certification by the end of the decade and shape the future of sustainable aviation.

Your Mission

As a Flight Software Intern, you’ll support the full lifecycle of the software that powers the ES-30 aircraft. You will work closely with experienced engineers to:

• Develop and refine software requirements.
• Write high-quality, reliable embedded code.
• Build tests, test infrastructure, and simulation tools.
• Support documentation and verification processes.
• Collaborate across a multi-functional engineering teams.
• Contribute to the foundations of next-gen flight software, including:

• Aircraft control functions
• Simulation models and flight dynamics
• Fault-tolerant system behaviors
• Hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop test systems

This internship is designed for students who want hands-on experience shaping the future of electric aviation while working alongside industry experts.

You’re a Great Fit If You Are:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• Passionate about aviation, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology.
• Writing code with an emphasis but not limited to Rust, Python, C, or C++.
• A strong communicator with solid teamwork skills.
• Excited to learn how modern aircraft software is designed, tested, and certified.

Nice-to-Have Skills (Not Required)

If you have any of these, that’s a bonus — but not expected for interns!

• Exposure to embedded systems, microcontrollers, or real-time operating systems.
• Project or internship experience with hardware-software integration, system level testing and CI/CD.
• Familiarity with modeling or simulation tools (e.g., 6-DoF simulators, battery models).
• Interest in system architecture, safety-critical design, or fault-tolerant software.

Why Join Heart Aerospace?

• Be part of a mission-driven team revolutionizing aviation.
• Gain real-world experience building software for a certifiable aircraft.
• Work with cutting-edge tools, simulations, and embedded platforms.
• Learn from engineers working on one of the most advanced electric aircraft programs in the world.
