What you need

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Applied Math, Physics, or a closely related technical field.
  • Strong academic foundation in the fundamentals relevant to the selected discipline and the ability to explain technical reasoning clearly.
  • Demonstrated technical interest through coursework, laboratories, research, student teams, capstone work, personal projects, prior internships, or other hands-on experience.
  • Ability to break down a technical problem, identify assumptions, ask useful questions, and make progress with guidance from more experienced engineers.
  • Clear written and verbal communication and the ability to distinguish personal contributions from the work of a broader team.
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn unfamiliar tools, systems, and technical domains quickly.

Nice to have

  • Prior internship, co-op, research, student-team, or project experience in spacecraft, aerospace, robotics, autonomous systems, defense technology, high-reliability hardware, or another technically demanding environment.
  • Experience designing, building, coding, analyzing, testing, or debugging something beyond normal classroom problem sets.
  • Electrical track: exposure to circuits, embedded systems, PCB design, power electronics, sensors, test equipment, controls hardware, or hardware-in-the-loop environments.
  • Mechanical track: exposure to CAD, mechanisms, structures, thermal or structural analysis, manufacturing, GD&T, test fixtures, or hardware integration.
  • GNC track: exposure to dynamics, controls, estimation, navigation, orbital mechanics, simulation, MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or C/C++.

What you get

  • Eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of the Employee Stock Option and Equity Plan.
  • Relocation bonus and other discretionary bonuses.
  • Access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage.
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off.

Worth weighing

  • No specific salary listed, but compensation is part of a total rewards package.
