Job Summary

Voyager Technologies is seeking a driven and mission-oriented Engineering Intern / Variable-Hour Aerospace Technician based out of our Folsom, California operations. This role is designed for a motivated candidate actively pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with long-term aspirations toward a Master’s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering. The selected candidate will work full-time during academic breaks and shift to a reduced, part-time schedule during the school year, allowing for full career development without interrupting educational progress.

In this role, the candidate will gain hands-on experience in the design-through-fabrication continuum of aerospace components—supporting engineering teams from concept and design, through analysis, prototyping, manufacturing, and integration. This is a high-visibility growth opportunity for a candidate who brings operational discipline, safety awareness, and small-team leadership from prior service, and who is ready to apply those instincts in a technical engineering environment.
