2017 SR-1 PROJECT INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW: The SR-1 Project is designing and building a raceplane to set absolute speed records in its weight class (see sr1.weebly.com and facebook.com/TheSR1Project). The SR-1 Project is currently seeking 1-2 undergraduates for a summer internship in our Santa Paula, CA shop to fabricate and test composite structures on our new 50kN universal testing machine. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates to gain hands-on experience fabricating and testing aerospace composites. In addition, candidates will have the opportunity to assist in fabricating components for the SR-1 airplane itself. RESPONSIBILITIES: Candidates will be responsible for fabricating composite panels, coupons and other assemblies for tensile, compressive, shear and flexural testing. They will then collate the data into the SR-1 Project’s Rapid Prototyping/Experimental Design Public Database. Additionally, candidates may be responsible for fabricating/machining specialized fixtures for the test machine. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS Candidates should have completed at least their 2nd year in an undergraduate engineering degree. PREFERRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE -
