Optical Engineering Intern

At BlueHalo, we firmly believe that all internships are not created equal. Our Summer Internship Program is meticulously designed to provide students with an immersive and dynamic experience within our industry, offering a taste of what it's like to be part of our professional team. Unlike many other internship programs, we strive to simulate a full-time job, enabling our interns to work hands-on with cutting-edge technology, contribute to meaningful projects, build strong relationships with coworkers, and develop strategic problem-solving skills. Our program is highly selective, hosting only a handful of interns each year, ensuring personalized attention and ample opportunities to work closely with BlueHalo team members. As an Optical Engineering Intern, you will work closely with an experienced engineering team to support the design, development, and testing of tracking and laser weapon systems. You will directly contribute to multiple systems and gain experience in both theoretical and practical engineering. You will gain experience in key areas such as optical design, system integration, testing, and data analysis.
