## About the role

We're looking for a Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering Intern to join our team in Kent, Washington for Summer 2027. This is a hands-on opportunity to work alongside experienced spacecraft engineers on the mechanical systems that make our orbital solar power satellites possible — from structural design and thermal management to assembly, integration, and test.

## What they're looking for

- Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
- Coursework or hands-on project experience in mechanical design, structural analysis, or thermal systems (e.g., senior design, formula/rocketry/robotics teams, research lab work)
- Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar)
- Strong fundamentals in statics, dynamics, materials, and/or thermodynamics
- Demonstrated ability to work hands-on with hardware, not just simulation or theory
- Strong ownership mentality, comfort with ambiguity, and ability to work effectively in a fast-paced startup environment
