Who We Hire

How the Program Works
Step 1: Two students will be chosen to complete a paid summer internship within the HyperWorks Support Organization. Here students will learn the foundation of the computer aided engineering (CAE) industry by working with customers in various industries, project management teams, the HyperWorks sales force, as well as many other organizational functions within the company. During their time in support, students will not only be able to learn the fundamentals of HyperWorks, but will ask be able to be part of the actual support team. They will participate directly by interacting with customers through functions such as site visits to customer locations, delivering presentations, and teaching training classes. Students should expect projects throughout their internship that will challenge them to use their skills for problem solving and applying the knowledge they learn along the way. www.altairhyperworks.com
Step 2: The following summer after you have completed your junior year, you will return to Altair for another summer internship but this time within the ProductDesign organization. During this time you will discover how the design process takes place within an engineering project with the help of CAE software. www.altairpd.com

Quote from Former Intern
“The Altair Engineering internship program “jump-started” my career by exposing me to the real-world working environment early in my life. The valuable hands-on experience gained from working with several different business units at Altair complimented my classroom experience at Kettering University; which has tremendously contributed to my growth as a professional. Thank you Altair!” –
