About the Position

Lockheed Martin Internship

Want to be part of something extraordinary?

Unique Opportunity

Are you looking for an experience of a lifetime, with immense opportunities for both personal and professional development, and are you ready to spend 5 months at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics’ impressive production facility at either its Fort Worth, Texas or Atlanta, Georgia location? Then make sure to apply for becoming one of our next interns.

The program is open to engineering students enrolled at a Danish university and currently studying for their master’s degree. Working at a modern high-tech factory requires a diverse range of talents, these includes but are not limited to mechanical engineers, material and process specialists, data scientists, robotics wizards and many more. The internship is paid and runs from January until June. You will be part of a group of 8-12 interns who will travel and live together, so strong interpersonal skills and the ability to share a fridge, bathroom, and cleaning duties will come in handy.

The Challenge

We offer the internship of a lifetime. Get ready to have your career kickstarted with this unique internship at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth, Texas or Atlanta, Georgia. Here, you will have the opportunity to work on one of the world’s most advanced fighter jets, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.

Forming the backbone of many of the world’s future air forces, the F-35 multirole fighter aircraft is to be produced in numbers exceeding 3,500. Take part in the massive engineering challenge of increasing production rate, improving workflow, and securing quality to ensure delivery, dependability, and cost reduction with global impact.

To experiencing one of the most advanced production lines in the aerospace industry, you will learn from the best as you participate in projects, interact with mechanics and fellow engineers, and interact directly with the aircraft. Apply for this internship to gain insights that go beyond the classroom.

You as a Person

With the internship being based in the US, you are of course fully proficient in English, both oral and written. You will be exposed to the international culture of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics as well as being a part of the local community, and the opportunities for cultural and social experiences will only be limited by your own interest, ability to have an open mind, and engage with new people.

Working within the security industry, it is also important that you have a sound understanding of the importance of company procedures and when to ask before acting.

Internship Roles

AI & Data Science Internship

In this internship, you will join an Aero Ops AI Team and work at the intersection of Data Science, AI/ML Engineering, and Computer Science. You will develop, train, and deploy AI solutions across areas such as computer vision, large language models, and robotic systems - supporting the transformation of the F-35 production environment.

Together with your team, you will contribute to projects focused on implementing autonomous and intelligent solutions on the production floor. This role offers hands-on experience with advanced technologies, where you collaborate across disciplines to turn operational needs into real-world AI applications.

Quality Engineering Internship

Put your analytical engineering skills to the test in the Quality Engineering (Wing Assembly) or Quality Engineering (Final Assembly) department. You will support quality improvement projects across F-35 production areas, working closely with Quality Engineers, Inspectors, and Manufacturing teams on the shop floor. You will analyze production data, uncover root causes, perform in-process inspections, and help implement corrective actions to ensure compliance and reduce defects.

Throughout the internship, you will collaborate across disciplines, evaluate process and product performance, and contribute to making production data more accessible. In this position, you will gain hands-on experience with the aircraft and present your results to senior leadership - working directly on the future fighter jet of the Royal Danish Air Force.
