Last updated: October 2026
Teledyne is hiring summer 2027 interns, but only in a narrow slice. On 3 Oct 2026 its single Workday board (761 open jobs worldwide) carried 6 US student requisitions: four at Teledyne Brown Engineering in Huntsville, Alabama titled "(Summer 2027)", a Mechanical Engineering Intern in Miamisburg, Ohio, and a Manufacturing Engineer Co-Op at Teledyne LeCroy in Chestnut Ridge, New York that went up on 1 Oct. In plain words: you apply during fall 2026, you intern in summer 2027. Five of the six require US citizenship.
Students aiming at Teledyne's other US sites are waiting for site-level reqs, which historically show up in winter and spring.
Quick Facts
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where to apply | Teledyne's Workday board (named "flircareers", but it covers every Teledyne business). Search "intern" and "co-op"; the old iCIMS links on some Teledyne pages are dead. |
| Application window (summer 2027) | Huntsville (Teledyne Brown Engineering): open now, 4 reqs posted 13 Aug to 16 Sep 2026. Miamisburg OH: open, posted 9 Sep. Chestnut Ridge NY co-op: open, posted 1 Oct. Other US sites: expected ~Jan–Apr 2027 (low confidence). |
| Rolling? | Yes. None of the 6 reqs states a deadline. An "until" date on an aggregator is that site's own expiry, not Teledyne's. |
| Eligibility | Huntsville: 2+ years completed toward a software, CS or systems degree, US citizens only. Miamisburg: US citizenship required. LeCroy co-op: 2+ years of college credit, no citizenship clause. No GPA stated. |
| Duration | Huntsville: about 3 months in summer 2027, dates negotiable around school calendars. Miamisburg and LeCroy: not stated |
| Compensation | Not published on any of the 6 live reqs (the New York co-op's salary line is blank). Huntsville interns provide their own housing |
| Return offers | Conversion rate not published; no company-wide intern program |
| Locations | Huntsville AL (4 reqs), Miamisburg OH (1), Chestnut Ridge NY (1); all on-site |
| # Programs | No branded program: 6 site-level reqs across 3 operating units (software, systems modeling, mechanical, manufacturing) |
Don't expect a big program announcement. Teledyne runs no company-wide internship; each operating company posts its own reqs on the shared board, so the Huntsville reqs open now are the clearest summer 2027 window.
Externships are short, remote programs where you finish a real project for a real company, most often over 8 weeks at 5–10 hours a week. For Teledyne's software reqs, the Breaking Games SQL Database Architecture Externship gives you back-end and data-modeling work to show, and the Hydroficient IoT Cyber Defense Externship builds the security habits defense software teams expect.
What Is a Teledyne Internship?
A Teledyne internship is a paid, on-site role at one of Teledyne's operating companies, posted by that site rather than through a central program. Teledyne Technologies, headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, reported $6.1 billion in 2025 net sales across digital imaging (including Teledyne FLIR), instrumentation, aerospace and defense electronics, and engineered systems, with about 15,800 employees in 38 countries per its 2025 annual report.
The live summer 2027 work is concrete: Huntsville interns build Navy health-research planning tools and the Extended Air Defense Simulation (EADSIM), while the Miamisburg intern designs safe-and-arm devices for missile programs.

When Do Teledyne Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
Teledyne's summer 2027 cycle split by site. Teledyne Brown Engineering posted its four Huntsville reqs on 13 Aug, 1 Sep and 16 Sep 2026, about 8.5 to 9.5 months before a summer start. Miamisburg posted on 9 Sep and LeCroy's co-op on 1 Oct, neither naming a season. Elsewhere, Teledyne's US businesses have posted intern reqs closer to the work: dated reposts of past listings cluster in February and March, so expect most non-Huntsville summer 2027 reqs around January to April 2027.
If you're a US citizen with two years of a software or systems degree done, you're applying now, not later.
Applications for summer 2027 are open right now at Teledyne Brown Engineering in Huntsville (4 reqs), plus a Miamisburg OH mechanical intern and a Chestnut Ridge NY manufacturing co-op. All six are rolling with no stated deadline.
The live reqs stay open until filled. Each Huntsville req is one or two seats on a named project, so a req can come down without notice once it's filled.
Other US Teledyne businesses expected to post site-level intern reqs for summer 2027. This is a low-confidence projection from dated third-party reposts of past listings; save a search for "intern" on the board and filter by state.
Huntsville reqs for summer 2028 expected, if Teledyne Brown Engineering repeats this cycle's 13 Aug to 16 Sep posting pattern. One measured cycle only, so treat it as an estimate.
Huntsville internships run about 3 months, with start and end dates negotiable around spring and fall school calendars. Interns work on site and arrange their own housing. Teledyne doesn't publish a return-offer rate.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
Teledyne's urgency mode is rolling. None of the six live reqs states a closing date, and the only date floating around (21 Oct 2026 on one aggregator) is that site's listing expiry. Moving now matters because these are tiny reqs: the NHRC software internship is two seats, and each EADSIM req is one.
There's a second reason to be early in Huntsville. Citizenship and on-site rules already cut the pool, and once a project team has its intern, the req comes down; nothing about that req says it'll reopen in spring.
Which Teledyne Internship Programs Should You Target?
Teledyne publishes no internship program page. What exists today is six reqs at three operating units.
| Req | Focus | Duration | Key details |
|---|---|---|---|
| NHRC Software Engineering Internship (Summer 2027), 2 reqs | Medical planning tools for the Naval Health Research Center; C#, .NET, Blazor, Azure DevOps | ~3 months | Teledyne Brown Engineering, Huntsville AL; US citizens; posted 13 Aug 2026 |
| EADSIM Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2027) | Extended Air Defense Simulation; C and C++, Python 3, Qt, GitLab, Fortify | ~3 months | Huntsville AL; US citizens; posted 1 Sep 2026 |
| EADSIM MBSE Intern (Summer 2027) | SysML models in Cameo Systems Modeler; requirements, architecture, V&V planning | ~3 months | Huntsville AL; US citizens; posted 16 Sep 2026 |
| Mechanical Engineering Intern | Design of safe-and-arm and ignition safety devices for missile programs; SolidWorks | Not stated | Miamisburg OH; US citizenship required (Department of Energy); posted 9 Sep 2026 |
| Manufacturing Engineer Co-Op (mechanical focus) | Over-molding process, tool and fixture design, work instructions for oscilloscope, probe and cable production | Not stated | Teledyne LeCroy, Chestnut Ridge NY; 3D CAD; posted 1 Oct 2026 |
Read the req you'd actually fit, not the brand. All six live on the Workday board; the "flir" in the URL is a leftover from the 2021 FLIR acquisition and has nothing to do with which business is hiring.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
Eligibility differs by req, and the citizenship line decides most of it:
• Class year (Huntsville): "completion of at least two years toward a degree" in software engineering, computer science, systems engineering or a related field, so first- and second-year students don't qualify yet.
• Class year (LeCroy co-op): enrolled in a 4-year engineering or engineering technology degree with at least 2 years of college credit.
• GPA: none of the six reqs states a minimum.
• Citizenship: the four Huntsville reqs say applicants "must be U.S. citizens" because of classified work at the facility; Miamisburg says US citizenship is required by the Department of Energy. The LeCroy co-op has no citizenship clause.
• Clearance: none of the six asks you to hold a security clearance already.

Is the Citizenship Rule a Hard Cutoff?
Yes, on five of the six. The wording isn't a preference: it's tied to classified work in Huntsville and to Department of Energy rules in Miamisburg, and Teledyne's US board leans this way overall.
The newest req breaks the pattern. The Chestnut Ridge co-op at Teledyne LeCroy, a test and measurement business, carries no citizenship line, which makes it the one live option for students who are authorized to work in the US but aren't citizens. Watch commercial sites like it in the spring.
What Skills Does Teledyne Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
The six reqs ask for two layers of skills. The technical layer depends on the seat: object-oriented programming in C#, C++ or Java for the NHRC and EADSIM software roles, SysML and Cameo for MBSE, and SolidWorks or 3D CAD for Miamisburg and LeCroy. The shared layer is the same everywhere: testing and debugging, teamwork, clear written and verbal communication, and managing your own time.
The Huntsville reqs say plainly that prior exposure to their stack is "a plus" but "not a requirement", so fundamentals carry more weight than a perfect tool match.

vs 207 in August
Defense employers posted heavily in September. If you're eligible for Huntsville, apply now while the reqs are live, and widen your list with similar cleared-work employers.
Daily US job-posting counts, Sep 1–30 vs Aug 1–31, 2026. Covers under half of US postings; shows direction, not market size. Pay = median of employer-published ranges only (87 postings in September, 36 in August).
Build These Skills Before You Apply
Match your proof to the seat you're targeting, then close the gap with a finished project.
| Skill (from real JDs) | JD evidence | Externship that builds it |
|---|---|---|
| Back-end features, data structures, databases | NHRC and EADSIM software reqs: "Implement simple front-end or back-end features"; data structures and algorithms | Breaking Games SQL Database Architecture |
| Secure, defense-minded software habits | EADSIM SWE: learn Fortify, GitLab and DevOps on a classified-facility team | Hydroficient IoT Cyber Defense |
| Automation and tooling | NHRC SWE: "Take on small research or prototyping tasks to explore new features or technologies" | Wayfair n8n AI Agent Engineering |
| Operations and process improvement | LeCroy co-op: knowledge of operations and supply chain management is "a plus" | Amazon Fulfillment Center Operational Strategy |
None of these replaces the citizenship or class-year rules. If you don't meet them yet, build the project now and target next spring's site-level reqs.
What Is the Teledyne Application and Interview Process Like?
Teledyne documents only the outline of its process:
1. Search the right board. Every Teledyne business posts on the Workday board named "flircareers". Search "intern" and "co-op" and filter to your state.
2. Read the citizenship line first. Five of the six live reqs require US citizenship; don't spend an application where you can't be hired.
3. Apply online. The Miamisburg req says: apply online and, if your qualifications align, "our team will contact you for interviews."
4. Interviews. Teledyne doesn't publish the intern interview format. A March 2026 Reddit post described a Teledyne Brown Engineering full-time software first round as a 30 to 45 minute Teams call.
5. Offer. No offer timeline is published. Huntsville start and end dates are negotiable around your school calendar.
Put the language or tool your target req names (C#, C++, SysML, SolidWorks) in the first lines of your resume, because the stack differs by req.
What the Community Says
Reddit has little on Teledyne internships, so these cards mix two Reddit threads with one dated intern review on Indeed.
A candidate prepping for a first-round Teams interview with Teledyne Brown Engineering in Huntsville, for a full-time software role on NASA-related systems, said the call was set for 30 to 45 minutes and the posting stressed microservices, REST APIs and CI/CD. Not an intern role, but the same team culture.
A student about to start a cost accounting internship at Teledyne with only two intro accounting classes said the employer knew that going in. Replies urged sharpening Excel lookups and pivot tables and owning mistakes right away, a reminder that Teledyne has hosted business interns too.
A Huntsville summer intern in Teledyne's space systems work described mostly office engineering, CAD and document review, plus some clean-room and manufacturing exposure, and said interns got real responsibility with mentoring from experienced engineers.
How Do You Stand Out for a Teledyne Internship?
Three moves. First, name the program in your application. "NHRC medical planning tools" and "EADSIM" are in the req titles, so show you read them: a line on why air-defense simulation or military health research interests you does more than a generic defense paragraph.
Second, prove the fundamentals the reqs list. The Huntsville software reqs ask for object-oriented basics, data structures and algorithms, and modular design, then say their exact stack isn't required. A small, clean project with tests and a README beats a long list of frameworks.
Third, handle logistics up front. Say you're a US citizen where the req requires it, confirm you can work on site in Huntsville, and note that you've planned housing, since Teledyne Brown Engineering says interns provide their own.

What Other Companies Should You Consider?
If Teledyne's six reqs don't fit, these defense and aerospace employers hire similar engineering interns, often on similar citizenship terms.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Teledyne internship?
No. Summer 2026 internships have already run, and the summer 2026 intern req we checked (Eagan MN) is closed on Teledyne's board. Summer 2027 is open now: six US reqs were live on 3 Oct 2026, four at Teledyne Brown Engineering in Huntsville, one in Miamisburg OH and one co-op in Chestnut Ridge NY.
Is Teledyne hiring interns for summer 2027 right now?
Yes, in a narrow slice. Teledyne Brown Engineering posted four "(Summer 2027)" reqs in Huntsville between 13 Aug and 16 Sep 2026, and Miamisburg and Teledyne LeCroy each have one more. None states a deadline. Most other US Teledyne sites are expected to post around January to April 2027.
Do Teledyne internships require US citizenship?
Five of the six live US reqs do. Huntsville cites classified work at the facility, and Miamisburg cites Department of Energy requirements. The Teledyne LeCroy manufacturing co-op in Chestnut Ridge NY has no citizenship clause. None of the six asks applicants to hold a security clearance already.
How much do Teledyne interns make?
Teledyne doesn't publish pay on any of the six live US intern and co-op reqs; the Alabama and Ohio postings carry no pay line, and the New York co-op's salary field is blank. Ask the recruiter for the range once you're contacted, and budget for housing in Huntsville, which interns arrange themselves.
Who is eligible for the Teledyne Brown Engineering internships?
US citizens currently enrolled at an accredited college or university who have completed at least two years toward a degree in software engineering, computer science, systems engineering or a related field. You must be able to work on site in Huntsville, Alabama. No minimum GPA is stated.
How long is a Teledyne internship?
The Huntsville internships run about three months in summer 2027, and Teledyne says start and end dates are negotiable around spring and fall school schedules. The Miamisburg internship and the LeCroy co-op don't state a length, so ask during the first conversation with the recruiter.
Where do I apply for Teledyne internships?
Only on Teledyne's Workday board, flir.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/flircareers. It covers every Teledyne business despite the FLIR name. Some older Teledyne pages still link to iCIMS job boards that no longer work, so ignore those. Search for "intern" and "co-op" and filter by state.
Does Teledyne have a formal internship program?
No company-wide program is published. Each operating company posts its own reqs when a team needs an intern, which is why the live roles are spread across Huntsville, Miamisburg and Chestnut Ridge. Teledyne doesn't publish an intern class size or a return-offer rate either.
If you qualify for Huntsville, apply this month. If you don't yet, spend the time on a remote Externship and come back for the spring site-level reqs with a finished project.
