For the right person, we intend to extend a full-time, entry-level engineering offer at the end of the summer. We’ll be transparent about how that decision is made — it comes down to the quality of your work, your judgment, how you handle ownership, and whether the fit is right on both sides. The internship is the interview, for both of us.How To ApplySend a resume and a short note on why this role interests you to twilliams@flyprecision.
