About the role
Cowboy Space builds its own launch vehicle. The engine, the turbopumps that feed it, the mechanisms that separate and land the vehicle, and the fluid systems that move propellant through all of it are designed, built and tested in house in Kent, Washington. This internship puts you on one of those four teams.
What they're looking for
- Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in a STEM field (Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or equivalent)
- Strong fundamentals in at least one of: fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, kinematics, or heat transfer
- Proficiency with CAD (NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, or Fusion 360)
- Comfort working hands-on with hardware, in a lab or shop, and with test equipment
- A collaborative, self-directed working style, and comfort with ambiguity

More about this role
Cowboy Space Corporation is solving the global energy crisis by building the infrastructure for abundant, resilient space-based solar energy. We are tackling one of humanity’s most complex engineering challenges with a world-class team dedicated to delivering a revolutionary power platform. Cowboy Space Corporation is transforming how civilization powers, computes and connects - from orbit to Earth.
Cowboy Space Corporation is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our modular, scalable satellites collect sunlight in Low Earth Orbit to enable multiple integrated applications: transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-earth and space-to-space), powering on-orbit high-performance computing clusters (GPU/TPU), and providing secure, high bandwidth optical data transport.
Current energy and data systems rely on complex logistics and outdated infrastructure. Cowboy Space Corporation overcomes these challenges by enabling direct, on-demand, secure, and scalable energy distribution and data processing from space. This will revolutionize how we operate in orbit and on Earth, supporting the rapidly expanding space industrial base, ISAM (In-Space...
