Honeywell Aerospace celebrates record-breaking intern class, unveils 2027 internship programs
More than 700 summer interns head back to class equipped with real-world aerospace experience. Applications for the 2027 program now open.
PHOENIX, September 1, 2026 – Honeywell Aerospace (Nasdaq: HONA) today announced its 2026 summer internship season attracted its largest-ever cohort, with more than 700 interns representing 100 universities and high schools around the world.
The hands-on experience students received during summer internships at Honeywell Aerospace prepared them for a wide variety of career paths, from engineering and marketing to manufacturing, information technology and more. The company, which employs more than 8,000 people in Arizona, offers what are sometimes referred to as “H3” occupations: jobs that combine high pay, high-skill requirements and strong projected demand in the labor market.
For many interns now back to school, that career path will bring them back to where it began. Nearly 80 percent of Honeywell Aerospace interns return as full-time employees, according to aggregate program data from recent years.
2027 applications open
2027 internship applications are now open for high school, community college and university students. The dates and lengths of internships vary by region. Spring internships typically last 16 weeks and are open to community college students, as well as high school seniors in qualifying career and technical education programs who are on track to graduate in May 2027. Summer university internships last eight weeks and are open to students enrolled in qualifying programs with Honeywell Aerospace partner schools.
The program gives students and new graduates the opportunity to work on real engineering and business challenges from day one. Rotational programs connect the students with experienced professionals across aviation and space. Together, they tackle aerospace projects and build the skills and relationships that carry into a lasting career.

As the 2026 internship season concludes, several participants shared what the experience meant to them.
“I’ve been coming back every year”
Giovanni Perez-D'Amico, a mechanical engineering student at Arizona State University, started interning at Honeywell Aerospace in high school.
“I've been coming back every year,” he said. “I love 3D printing and everything that has to do with manufacturing. I get to use some of that skill with where I'm working in acoustics right now.”
This summer, he was part of a Honeywell Aerospace team studying ways to make aircraft engines quieter. By embedding 3D structures in the lining of the engine, they experimented with ways to absorb or redirect sound away from people.
“Because airplane engines spin so fast and push out so much air, they're extremely loud,” Perez-D'Amico said. “You hear it on the ground but also in the cabin. Being able to turn down that engine noise passively is not only going to help the experience for customers, but all of us here on the ground.”
“Zero getting people coffee”
Another 2026 intern, El Wylie, supported a sensitivity study for a next-generation Honeywell Aerospace turbofan engine. This was their fourth summer in the program: They participated two years in high school and two in college.
“It’s pretty meaningful to be able to work on what will be the next big thing,” Wylie said. “I feel like I'm actually doing proper work, something that's going to have an impact on my team. I can confirm there’s been zero getting people coffee.”
“Every day is different”
While some interns are returning to campus, others are entering the workforce.
Noah Lopez completed his Honeywell Aerospace internship in manufacturing, graduated from the East Valley Institute of Technology, and is now joining Honeywell Aerospace full-time in the Sky Harbor Repair and Overhaul shop. His role started in packaging, then transitioned to building and hand-finishing parts using a variety of tools.
“Every day is different,” Lopez said. “I meet new people every day, and if you want to grow, you want to be in a room with someone that is smarter than you. At Honeywell Aerospace, there's so many people here and so many different opinions and perspectives. I feel like there's always someone to grow from.”
