Full Job Description

About Canopy Aerospace & Defense

Canopy A&D is built to accelerate the future of advanced materials for space, defense, and maritime systems. Canopy delivers specialized materials and components that carry customers from concept through sustainment. Canopy A&D’s advanced signal attenuation technologies and production-scale manufacturing accelerate the fielding of platforms that are faster, cooler, and quieter. Our adaptive approach ensures solutions evolve at the pace of shifting challenges, keeping our customers ahead of the curve.

Position Summary

Canopy Technologies is seeking exceptional engineering and materials science students to join our team as Materials & Processes Engineering Interns for Fall 2026. In this role, you will help develop next-generation thermal protection materials for spacecraft and hypersonic vehicles. These systems must survive extreme environments including re-entry heating, plasma exposure, and high mechanical loads.

Interns on the materials team contribute directly to the design, formulation, and testing of new material systems, including polymer-derived ceramics, advanced composite substrates, and high-temperature resin systems. You will work alongside engineers and scientists to prototype new TPS materials from first principles — mixing formulations, fabricating samples, and evaluating their performance in laboratory and high-temperature test environments.

This role is ideal for students who enjoy combining chemistry, materials science, and hands-on experimentation to develop materials that push the limits of aerospace performance.

Key Responsibilities

Assist with the design and formulation of new thermal protection materials, including polymer-derived ceramics and composite substrates
Prepare and process experimental material formulations using custom resin systems and fillers
Fabricate composite and polymer samples using techniques such as casting, layup, curing, and infiltration
Characterize material properties including thermal conductivity, density, mechanical properties, and thermal stability
Assist with high-temperature testing of materials in laboratory or simulated aerothermal environments
Analyze experimental results to inform material design and processing parameters
Document material formulations, processing methods, and test results
Support scale-up and manufacturing development efforts for promising material systems
Collaborate with aerothermal, structural, and manufacturing teams to integrate materials into TPS designs

Required Qualifications

Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Engineering, Chemistry, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field
Experience applying engineering skills outside the classroom through laboratory work, research, engineering project teams, or personal projects
Strong foundation in materials science, chemistry, or polymer science
Programming experience in Python, MATLAB, or similar scientific computing languages
Experience with laboratory experimentation or materials characterization through coursework, research, or project work
Strong professional communication and technical writing skills
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative R&D environment

Preferred Qualifications

Coursework or research experience involving polymers, composites, or ceramic materials
Experience with polymer formulation, resin systems, or composite processing
Familiarity with characterization techniques such as TGA, DSC, DMA, SEM, or thermal conductivity measurement
Experience working with laboratory equipment and experimental test methods
Exposure to high-temperature materials or aerospace materials systems
Participation in research labs, materials-focused project teams, or internships

Additional Requirements

Must have professional working proficiency reading, writing, and speaking English
Ability to work in office, lab, and manufacturing environments with occasional exposure to noise, chemicals, dust, industrial equipment, and temperature variations
Ability to sit or stand for extended periods while working at a computer workstation
Frequent use of hands and fingers for data entry, keyboarding, and mouse use
Ability to view computer screens for prolonged periods
Ability to communicate effectively in person, by phone, and via email
Ability to use a computer to complete assignments
