People Operations Intern
PDW
Overview Performance Drone Works (PDW) is building the next generation of tactical robotic systems used across defense, national security, and public safety missions. We are building a new center of engineering excellence to design our category of tactical robotic systems and the industrial capacity to deliver them, bringing decisive airpower into the hands of every operator. We design and produce multi-mission aerial systems that operators trust to perform in real-world conditions, reliably, repeatedly, and at scale. Our approach is grounded in operator-centered design, rapid iteration from field use, and U.S.-based manufacturing. We operate by a clear set of values: Mission First, Aim Farther, Own It, Win Together. This is a paid internship based in Huntsville, AL, up to 29 hours/week at $24/hour, for Summer 2026. This is not an admin internship — we seek someone curious and tech-forward who wants to dig into how a modern People Operations team actually works.

Improve internal knowledge resources and intranet content. Research AI tools and workflow automation that could plug into People Operations.
