About the role
At Spaceium, we are building spacecraft systems designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in orbit. As an Electrical Intern, you will work alongside our electrical engineering team on real spacecraft hardware. This is a hands-on role where you will contribute directly to the design, testing, and integration of electrical and electronic systems for our missions.
Responsibilities
•
Support schematic capture and PCB layout for spacecraft avionics
•
Assist with harness design, wiring, and integration
•
Help bring up, test, and debug electronic boards and subsystems
•
Support electrical testing including power, signal integrity, and functional tests
•
Contribute to documentation, test reports, and design reviews
•
Assist with lab setup, instrumentation, and test equipment
•
Collaborate with mechanical, software, and systems engineers
