About this role
Hybron is an advanced manufacturing company that is building lightweight composites at mass production scale. At Hybron, we have pioneered a new composites manufacturing process that enables complex, high performance composite parts to be produced 10-100 times faster than traditional manufacturing, at a fraction of the cost.
We recently closed an oversubscribed $25M seed round, are backed by the Northrop Grumman Technology Accelerator, and are rapidly growing to commercialize and mass produce composite products at a scale never seen before. Our current focus is applying our proprietary process to composite artillery shells, solid rocket motor nozzles, gas turbine engine components, and airframes.
If you want to join a rapidly growing company working on cutting edge composites technology while building capabilities for the warfighter and reshoring U.S. manufacturing, then we want to speak with you.
About the Role
This is a full-time, in-person internship at our Hawthorne facility, running at least 10 weeks in summer 2027. As you will be working at an early-stage deep tech startup, this role will span many different tasks, and no two weeks will look the same. Along with these high expectations comes the chance to own real work from your first week. You’ll see how a fast-growing advanced manufacturer runs from the inside and build skills across operations, finance, and business development.
The Hybron team is growing quickly. We’ve scaled from 2 to over 20 in 18 months, and we’re continuing to grow across the entire business to support more business development, engineering, production, and operations. As an Operations Intern, you’ll work across the entire operations function. Day to day, that means receiving and shipping materials and parts (including export-controlled items), keeping inventory accurate, placing and tracking purchase orders, and helping run the facility. You’ll also process and reconcile invoices, support leadership with scheduling and meeting prep, and help with market research and proposals. Along the way, you’ll build trackers and processes the team keeps using, and own one project end to end that you’ll present to leadership at the end of the summer. This role requires a self-starter who is organized, adaptable, and willing to do whatever the business needs, from the loading dock to the leadership meeting. If you want real responsibility early in your career, we want you.
