About the role
De Havilland Aircraft of Canada is seeking motivated and technically curious engineering student to join our Flight Sciences team. You will work directly with experienced engineers across a range of aircraft systems and disciplines, contributing to ongoing design, analysis, testing, and support activities that keep our aircraft performing safely and efficiently.
This is a 12-16 month internship with a January, 2027 start date.
Responsibilities:
You can expect to:
Improve understanding of accuracy for CFD codes on DH-specific configurations and flight conditions.
Validate CFD codes against wind tunnel data for various configurations (wing-body-nacelle, wing-body-nacelle high-lift, etc.). Explore sensitivity of CL, CD and moments due to:
Grid spacing (refinement, adaptation)
Turbulence models (S-A, k-w and mods)
Higher fidelity methods (time-accurate, DES)
Determine best practices for different configurations.
Provide estimates for accuracy of different parameters (lift, drag, moments).
Create Python scripts for quicker post-processing.
Shadow senior engineers and support field investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective actions.
What We’re Looking For:
Current enrollment in a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or related engineering field.
Completion of at least 2 years of study by the start of the internship.
A strong interest in aircraft systems, structures, and design.
Working knowledge of engineering tools such as CATIA, MATLAB, Excel/VBA, or other technical software (varies by role).
Clear communication skills and the ability to take initiative while working as part of a team.
What You'll Gain:
Exposure to the full aircraft lifecycle—from design to test to delivery.
Practical experience working on certification, production support, and fleet sustainment.
Mentorship from senior engineers and insight into career paths across multiple disciplines.
The chance to make real contributions to active engineering projects with national and international reach.
