Exciting opportunity for interns to work on avionics that fly on aircraft of the present and the future!

We are seeking Interns who would like join our service and repairs group and learn about sophisticated electronic systems that pilots use to fly commercial and military aircraft. Internship opportunities are still available for next spring and summer. We offer competitive pay and a friendly, team environment.

Over the past 61 years, Astronautics has designed and manufactured avionics for over 150,000 aircraft. Our reputation is unsurpassed in the aerospace industry.

Our displays, computers and avionics systems fly on board the most sophisticated aircraft in the world. They are built to last for the life of the aircraft. Our service and repairs department is a key component in ensuring the highest quality products that pilots depend upon.
