Design Engineering Intern - Summer 2026

Come shape the future of American travel by joining the Brightline West team.

We are working to reimagine greener, better, and faster train travel! After Brightline Florida completed the first passenger rail system connecting Miami and Orlando, Brightline West was formed to connect Las Vegas and Southern California through the nation’s first true high-speed, electric passenger rail system. Reaching speeds of more than 186 miles per hour, this 218-mile high-speed rail service will take passengers from Las Vegas to the Greater Los Angeles area twice as fast as the normal drive time. We are looking for talented individuals to join Brightline West, who share our pioneering mindset for building something that’s the first of its kind and have a bright vision for redefining the future of American travel.
