  • Support hands-on spacecraft integration, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Work on real space hardware, contributing to building and testing space vehicles.
  • Provide input to ensure system-level consistency and compatibility across the spacecraft.
  • Assist in developing and submitting documentation to regulatory bodies to ensure spaceflight compliance.
  • Work in a fast-paced environment with the flexibility to adapt to changing project needs and priorities.

  • Hands-on experience with space hardware, including integration and testing.
  • Familiarity with regulatory requirements for spaceflight and experience with related documentation and compliance.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Ability to work in a high-pressure, fast-paced startup environment.

‍

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience in space vehicle integration or spacecraft subsystem design.
  • Familiarity with industry standards and practices in spacecraft testing, verification, and regulatory compliance.
  • Some experience working in aerospace or related industries.
