About the company
At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.
The CesiumAstro mechanical team is looking for Summer 2027 interns to design and build space structures and thermal systems for satellite communication systems.
Mechanical systems interns will work closely with CesiumAstro engineers on product development, design, test, and manufacturing of structures and thermal systems for space communication systems. Areas of focus will include design of conduction-cooled packaging, deployable structures and mechanisms, and lightweight composite space structures. Assignments will be determined by a mix of project availability and the interests of the successful candidates.
CesiumAstro interns regularly present their work to peers, mentors, and CesiumAstro executive leadership throughout the course of the summer. As such, excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.
