About the role
At Spaceium, we are building spacecraft systems designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in orbit. As a Mechanical Intern, you will work alongside our mechanical engineering team on real spacecraft hardware. This is a hands-on role where you will contribute to the design, analysis, build, and testing of the mechanical structures, mechanisms, and assemblies critical to our missions.
Responsibilities
•
Support mechanical design and CAD modeling for spacecraft components, structures, and assemblies
•
Assist with the design of mechanisms, brackets, fixtures, and structural elements
•
Help build and maintain test setups, fixtures, and ground support equipment
•
Support structural, thermal, and tolerance analysis tasks
•
Assist with machining, fabrication, and 3D printing of parts
•
Assist with assembly, integration, and testing of mechanical hardware
•
Contribute to documentation, test reports, and design reviews
•
Collaborate with electrical, software, fluids, and systems engineers
Basic Qualifications
•

What We’re Looking For
We’re building technology that hasn’t been done before. Experience is helpful, but curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you’re excited about spacecraft, enjoy solving hard engineering problems, and want to help build something new, we encourage you to apply.
