About the Role
RTX is hiring a Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2027) to join their team in a on-site capacity. More jobs at RTX and this is an entry-level opportunity well suited to recent graduates or early-career professionals looking to build a strong technical foundation. If you’re looking to grow your career with a team that invests in its engineers, this could be a great next step.
Joining RTX as a Software Engineering Internship means working alongside experienced peers on problems that matter to the business, with the kind of scope and ownership that helps a career move forward. This internship is designed to give you real, hands-on experience while you’re still building your career.
Role Overview
Working closely with senior engineers and mentors, you’ll play a key role in the team’s day-to-day engineering work. Typical responsibilities for a Software Engineering Internship at the entry level include:
- contribute to real production codebases under the guidance of experienced engineers
- participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and team stand-ups to learn how professional engineering teams operate
- build and test features end to end, from design discussion through to deployment
- present your work to the broader team and receive structured feedback and mentorship
Beyond the day-to-day, you’ll be expected to communicate clearly with teammates and stakeholders, document your work so others can build on it, and continuously look for ways to improve how the team ships software.
Requirements & Qualifications
This role is designed for candidates early in their career, so the emphasis is on fundamentals, curiosity, and growth potential:
- currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
- solid grasp of programming fundamentals and data structures
- strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn from experienced engineers
- prior coursework, personal projects, or internship experience is a plus
Candidates who don’t check every box are still encouraged to apply — RTX values demonstrated ability and growth potential alongside a resume that matches every requirement exactly.
Location & Work Setup
This role is based in United States. This is an on-site position, with the team working together in person to collaborate closely on a daily basis. Specific work arrangements and any relocation details will be confirmed during the interview process. As with any on-site role, expect regular collaboration with teammates through a mix of synchronous meetings and asynchronous updates, so strong written and verbal communication matters as much as technical skill.
