Drone Systems Engineering Intern

DMR Technologies designs and manufactures advanced unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) serving agriculture, public safety, critical infrastructure, and defense. Our products combine mechanical engineering, electronics, embedded systems, software, manufacturing, and autonomous flight into complete solutions built in Louisiana. We're seeking a Drone Systems Engineering Intern who enjoys building things, solving problems, and learning across multiple engineering disciplines.

As a Drone Systems Engineering Intern, you'll gain hands-on experience supporting the design, assembly, testing, and deployment of next-generation unmanned aircraft systems.

Projects may include:

Assisting with the design and development of drone platforms
Building and testing prototype aircraft
Supporting mechanical, electrical, and software integration
Assisting with flight testing and data collection
Troubleshooting hardware and system-level issues
Supporting manufacturing process improvements
Assisting with CAD models, engineering documentation, and BOM updates
Integrating sensors, payloads, cameras, communications equipment, and accessories
Supporting internal software tools, automation, or AI-powered engineering workflows
Working alongside engineering, production, and flight operations teams

No two weeks are the same. Interns are encouraged to contribute ideas, solve problems, and take ownership of meaningful projects.

Preferred qualifications:

Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related technical field
Strong mechanical aptitude
Excellent problem-solving skills
Comfortable working with tools and hands-on equipment
Curious, self-motivated, and eager to learn

Bonus experience:

CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar)
Electronics and soldering
Embedded systems or microcontrollers
JavaScript, Python, or C++
React or web application development
AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
Robotics or autonomous systems
3D printing
Drone building or FPV experience
FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate

We care less about checking every box and more about finding builders. The ideal candidate enjoys taking things apart, figuring out how they work, improving them, and building something even better.

You'll work directly with engineers, technicians, manufacturing, software developers, and company leadership while contributing to products that are deployed in the real world—not hypothetical classroom projects. You'll leave with experience spanning engineering, manufacturing, software, testing, and product development that few internships can offer.

Compensation: $35,000.00 - $50,000.00 per year
