Summary

Duration: 3–6+ months | Start date: Flexible


We're building the next generation of in-space transportation. If you're hands-on, curious, and ready to tackle real hardware and system-level challenges, come work with us. 🚀


We’re offering several internship, each tackling critical subsystems of our kick stage :


Propulsion
  • Design and build test stands
  • Run component and engine tests
  • Contribute to engine and component design


Thermal
  • Build a full-vehicle thermal model from scratch
  • Draft thermal management strategies for tanks, engine, avionics
  • Extract system-level requirements from your analysis
  • Preliminary TVAC testing of components


Propellant Tanks
  • Preliminary tank design and propellant management strategy
  • Identify manufacturing methods and AI&T steps
  • Deliver a first design iteration that fits flight constraints


Deployment Mechanisms
  • Evaluate and design payload deployment interfaces
  • Run trade-offs (rings vs multipoints, structural impact, customer constraints)
  • Propose modular designs that adapt to multiple mission profiles


Electrical Power System (EPS)
  • Refine the EPS architecture: batteries, solar arrays, PCDU
  • Build and simulate a power model
  • Derive component selection and testing plan


Systems Engineering
  • Build tools to manage interfaces, requirements, and testing
  • Draft and implement AI&T plans
  • Run FMEA and compliance reviews based on ECSS/ESA standards
  • Help organize system-level consistency from the ground up


What we offer:
  • Work on a real spacecraft from day one
  • Hands-on hardware work from day one
  • A tight-knit, high-trust team with flight heritage
  • The chance to leave a real mark on our design
  • A beautiful and dynamic workspace in Switzerland


If you want to design, build, and test real space hardware, and if you're not afraid to take ownership, we want to hear from you.
