About Skydweller
Skydweller is developing the world's largest autonomous solar-powered aircraft, designed to provide persistent, long-duration flight capabilities for defense, and commercial missions. Our aircraft combines advanced aerospace engineering, autonomy, renewable energy technologies, and artificial intelligence to enable next-generation aviation capabilities.
Skydweller's engineering and flight-test programs generate significant volumes of aircraft telemetry, environmental data, and mission information. We are applying emerging AI technologies to transform this data into actionable insights that improve aircraft performance, operational efficiency, and mission planning.
About the Role
Skydweller is seeking an intern to support the development of an Agentic AI system dedicated to flight operations and optimization for long-endurance unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
The intern will work alongside experienced aerospace, software, and AI engineers to design and prototype an Agentic AI system capable of analyzing flight-test telemetry, weather data, and mission constraints to generate recommendations that improve endurance, energy efficiency, and aircraft performance.
The intern will participate in a structured, mentored R&D experience progressing from AI fundamentals through implementation and validation of a functional prototype supporting Skydweller's flight optimization efforts.
Why Join Skydweller?
This internship provides a unique opportunity to work on advanced aerospace technology while helping define the future of AI-assisted engineering.
Unlike traditional AI projects focused on generic applications, this role applies emerging AI technologies to a real-world autonomous aircraft program. The intern will contribute directly to the development of tools that improve aircraft endurance, mission effectiveness, and engineering decision-making.
Successful candidates will gain experience at the intersection of artificial intelligence, aerospace engineering, and autonomous systems, while working with an experienced team developing next-generation aviation capabilities.
Student Requirements
