“I sought out Aurora to contribute to cutting edge aerospace research and development projects and did just that during my internship. After seeing how engineering programs at Aurora start and meeting creative team members across the organization, I returned to Aurora full-time. My work now spans nearly every stage of the engineering design and development process. I love the continuous flow from conceptual design and prototype fabrication to field testing and customer demonstrations”
